Candide

Candide

Beginning in the seventeenth century and peaking in the eighteenth century, the winners of the Enlightenment period called for a rebellion against superstition, fear and prejudice.

Candide, which reflects Voltaire’s life-long hatred of Christian regimes of power and the arrogance of nobility, is a prime example of the philosophical values of the Enlightenment.  The Enlightenment is a term applied to a variety of ideas and advances in the fields of science, medicine and philosophy.

Thus Voltaire uses a witty, bantering tale on the surface, but in depth a cruel bombast against the ignoramuses of his times. Candide has
