<영어로 읽는 고전 _ 볼테르의 철학사전>
볼테르(Voltaire, 1694∼1778)는 ‘프랑수아 마리 아루에(Francois Marie Arouet)’라는 이름으로 1694년 11월 21일 파리에서 태어난 프랑스의 철학가,역사학자, 문학자이자 계몽사상가이다.
1717년, 볼테르는 루이 14세의 사후에 섭정으로 있던 오를레앙 공을 비방하는 글을 썼다는 죄목으로 바스티유 감옥에 수감된다. ‘아루에’라는 본명 대신 ‘볼테르’라는 유명한 필명을 쓰게 된 것도 이때였다. 그에게는 이것 말고도 무려 160가지의 다른 필명이 있었지만, 오늘날 우리는 그를 ‘볼테르’라는 이름으로 알고 있다.
볼테르는 연극, 시, 소설, 에세이, 역사, 과학 박람회 등 거의 모든 문학 형식으로 작품을 제작하는 다재다능하고 다작의 작가였다. 그는 20,000통 이상의 편지와 2,000권 이상의 책과 팜플렛을 썼다.

Voltaire (1694-1778), born in Paris on November 21, 1694, under the name 'Francois Marie Arouet', was a French philosopher, historian, literary figure, and enlightenment thinker.
In 1717, after the death of Louis XIV, Voltaire was imprisoned in the Bastille for writing a letter defaming the Duke of Orleans, who was regent after the death of Louis XIV. It was also at this time that he used the famous pseudonym ‘Voltaire’ instead of his real name ‘Arue’. He had as many as 160 other pseudonyms besides this one, but today we know him as 'Voltaire'.
Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, histories, and science fairs. He wrote over 20,000 letters and over 2,000 books and pamphlets.
