Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toleration and Other Essays It seems useful, in presenting to English readers this selection of the works of Voltaire, to recall the position and personality of the writer and the circumstances in which the works were written. It is too lightly assumed, even by many who enjoy the freedom which he, more than any, won for Europe, and who may surpass him in scepticism, that Voltaire is a figure to be left in a discreetly remote niche of memory. "Other times, other manners" is one of the phrases he contributed to modern literature. Let us genially acknowledge that he played a great part in dispelling the last mists of the Middle Ages, and politely attribute to the papal perversity and the lingering vulgarity of his age the more effective features of his work. Thus has Voltaire become a mere name to modern rationalists; a name of fading brilliance, a monumental name, but nothing more. This sentiment is at once the effect and the cause of a very general ignorance concerning Voltaire; and it is a reproach to us.

Book Synopsis A Treatise on Toleration and Other Essays by : Voltaire
Download or read book A Treatise on Toleration and Other Essays written by Voltaire and published by Great Minds Series. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voltaire (1694-1778), novelist, dramatist, poet, philosopher, historian, and satirist, was one of the most renowned figures of the Age of Enlightenment. In this collection of anti-clerical works from the last twenty-five years of Voltaire's life, he roundly attacks the philosophical optimism of the deists, the so-called inspiration of the Bible, the papacy, and vulgar superstition. These great works reveal Voltaire not only as a polemicist but also as a profound humanitarian. Selections include "Poem on the Lisbon Disaster," "We Must Take Sides," "The Questions of Zapate," "The Sermon of the Fifty," homilies on superstition and the interpretation of the Old and New Testaments, and his famous "Treatise on Toleration."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth and Growth of Toleration First, a few words about the great empires of the world. In respect of the Greeks and Romans, the system of polytheism - howsoever it arose, whatsoever it portended - made for Toleration. When the State, by way of conquest, took over any country, it installed the gods of that country in its Pantheon. Doubtless, certain states and cities had tutelary deities - such as Pallas at Athens, Artemis at Ephesus - concerning whose honour the inhabitants were exceeding jealous; yet this devotion did not prevent their rendering to other deities due respect. Even in late times, there were certain illicit religions - amongst which Christianity ranked in the period of its early struggles, until its purpose was fully declared of sweeping away all religions and all gods save One.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foe of Compromise, and Other Essays Surely, they were right. The analogy of nature, common sense, the experience of man kind, crystallized in proverbs, and all the digui fied and honored usage of our human societies ranged themselves on their side. And yet, we did not rest in the peace which they had made. Their contemporary, Garrison, the abolitionist, must have known that all these things were against him; he must have felt how harshly the strife he brought into our Republic of wel fare and opportunity broke in upon the soft music which ears like Choate's were harking for. Nevertheless, he went on: and soon there was war and death and mourning in the land. Some said that the outcome proved compromise a fail ure; more said, it was the fault of Garrison and of the other extremists on both sides. There was peace again, at last: a sure peace for the Republic; surer and deeper for some hundreds of' thousands of young men in blue and gray uniforms, mourned a while by their young wives and sweethearts, -mourned without ceasing by dim-eyed mothers. The end of compromise and the end of warfare were the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Treatise on Toleration by : Voltaire
Download or read book Treatise on Toleration written by Voltaire and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voltaire's Treatise on Toleration is one of the most important essays on religious tolerance and freedom of thought A powerful, impassioned case for the values of freedom of conscience and religious tolerance, Treatise on Toleration was written after the Toulouse merchant Jean Calas was falsely accused of murdering his son and executed on the wheel in 1762. As it became clear that Calas had been persecuted by 'an irrational mob' for being a Protestant, the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire began a campaign to vindicate him and his family. The resulting work, a screed against fanaticism and a plea for understanding, is as fresh and urgent today as when it was written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tolerance He is the Peacemaker and the Comforter of all, as He came to be the Redeemer of all and He has received the loving and fervent homage Of Christian piety, and the colder but still sincere homage of respectful indifference. But, alas He has received also the homage of bigoted schismatics, who have sought in the words and actions of Christ to find the condemnation of His Church; who have laboured to prove that the Church is in opposition to Him who promised to be with her for ever. As we touch upon the delicate question of toler ance, how can we refrain from invoking the name of Him whom we profess to serve and imitate? If we do not confess Him before men, we must expect that He will deny us in heaven. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Difficulty of Tolerance by : Thomas Scanlon
Download or read book The Difficulty of Tolerance written by Thomas Scanlon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays in political philosophy by T. M. Scanlon, written between 1969 and 1999, examine the standards by which social and political institutions should be justified and appraised. Scanlon explains how the powers of just institutions are limited by rights such as freedom of expression, and considers why these limits should be respected even when it seems that better results could be achieved by violating them. Other topics which are explored include voluntariness and consent, freedom of expression, tolerance, punishment, and human rights. The collection includes the classic essays 'Preference and Urgency', 'A Theory of Freedom of Expression', and 'Contractualism and Utilitarianism', as well as a number of other essays that have hitherto not been easily accessible. It will be essential reading for all those studying these topics from the perspective of political philosophy, politics, and law.
