The Ignorant Philosopher Book Description Voltaire (1694-1778): François-Marie Arouet, one of the most important writers of French literature, was known by the pseudonym Voltaire he used in his works. The author, who stands out with his critical intelligence and satirical mastery, has produced works in almost all literary genres, and has also been influential in this field with his Dictionary of Philosophy, in which he directed his arrows at the political institutions and popular thought styles of his period. His works, which influenced the development of European civilization on the eve of the French Revolution, are also masterpieces of the idea of civil rights and freedom against oppression and bigotry in our age. The Ignorant Philosopher, written by Voltaire at the age of seventy-two, is a catalog of what he is sure of and what he still doubts. "Who am I?" In his journey starting from the question, he confronts the theses of thinkers such as Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz, passes through his own and others' ignorance and reaches the dawn of reason. This small but influential work is also important in terms of shedding light on the point where Voltaire's philosophy meets his belief. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
