Café litteraire – Voltaire ou la question de l’optimisme
Add to my Google CalendarPresentation
With Antoine Bonnet, speaker
November 1755, an earthquake hits Lisbon and terrifies Europe. Responding to divine incantations, Voltaire published “Candide”, mocking Leibniz and the “brave new world”. However, the "quarrel over optimism" between Voltaire and Rousseau, Kant and the sublime, the debate between scientism and the romantics... constitute a number of questions that are still current.
