Kandide oder Die beste aller Welten

by Voltaire

Overview

Diese Satire wendet sich unter anderem gegen die optimistische Weltanschauung von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, der die beste aller möglichen Welten postulierte. Stattdessen wird eine Auffassung sichtbar, die skeptischer und pessimistischer ist und Leibniz' Postulat in den Kontext der Zeit (Eindruck des Erdbebens von Lissabon 1755, Siebenjähriger Krieg) rückt und dadurch infrage stellt.

About the Author

François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher known for his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform despite strict censorship laws in France and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize Christian Church dogma and the French institutions of his day.
