Philosophical Dictionary is an encyclopedic work published in 1764 by the French Enlightenment satirist François-Marie Arouet, better known by the name Voltaire. Noted by critics for both its wit and inconsistencies, the book showcases the author’s intellectual prowess and extreme bias in his rebellion against lawful authority and traditional institutions. Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary continues to spark debate and controversy among scholars and statesmen.
