Voltaire's A Philosophical Dictionary, Volume 06 is a philosophical treatise written in the early 18th century, examining ideas related to human existence, morality, and society through a critical lens. In this volume, Voltaire delves into themes of happiness, the nature of heaven and hell, heresy, and the foundations of history, challenging the prevailing norms and beliefs of his time. The opening sets the stage for a philosophical exploration of happiness and reflections on existence, as Voltaire dissects the concept of happiness. He emphasizes that happiness is a complex and often misunderstood notion, distinct from mere pleasure, and challenges the adage that one should not be deemed happy until after death. By referencing historically ‘happy’ figures who met tragic ends, he invites readers to ponder the nature of happiness in relation to human experience and societal constructs. As the text progresses, he expands his inquiry into the concepts of heaven and hell, heresy, and the interpretation of history, urging readers to reconsider accepted beliefs and the legitimacy of established narratives.
