Voltaire: One of the Most Controversial Authors of All Time


number three on my list is Voltaire now
he was an outspoken supporter of social
reform despite strict laws in France
against those who did speak about it or
write about it there are really harsh
penalties but he didn’t really care he
wrote about it anyway and to use satire
in order to cause controversy and he
frequently made use of his works
actually to criticize church dogma and
French institutions during his time here
own a biographical essay / King Charles
a 12 which was when he first publicly
started to reject religion he went even
further as to write that human lives
were not destined or controlled by
bigger things Voltaire also dealt with
metaphysics which is part of philosophy
that talks about things that can’t
necessarily be proven such as why we
have life what its purpose is if God
really exists now on the latter part
Voltaire analyzed the Bible and wanted
to know if it was even applicable to his
modern life and the world he was living
in volterra moved to Berlin to join
Frederick the Great a close friend and
amira of his now this King kadem a
really good salary but soon he had to
deal with a lawsuit he had a huge
argument with the president of the
berlin academy of science because
volterra had written the diatribe of dr.
AK kia which derided the president now
this really upset his friend mr.
Frederick the Great who ensured all
copies of the document were burned even
went on to her rest Walter at a hotel
where he was staying a long ass trip
back home celui the 15th ban Voltaire
from Paris which was where he was
supposed to go and instead he headed out
to Geneva so in 83 when he was 83 years
old he returned to Paris where he was
finally allowed to go but believe it or
not he was so excited that he actually
died the church didn’t permit his burial
under church grounds because of all his
comments he had made in the past and
they didn’t know what to do with it but
ever since then he
or his body’s been moved at least from
one place than eggs when cemetery to
another and finally they rested his body
in the church abbey of champagne friends
