What are the main ideas of Voltaire's Candide?
It is unclear that Voltaire knew what his main ideas were since he contradicted himself quite often. Voltaire is the pen name for Francois-Marie Arouet who was a French Enlightenment essayist, poet, writer and philosopher known as much for his wit as his defense of freedom, in particular his views on freedom of religion and free trade. Voltaire is often mistakenly viewed as an atheist which probably stems from his assertion that: "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." But to extrapolate from that a sense of atheism is to ignored the context in which he said it. Voltaire was not criticizing God but rather established religion and Voltaire was a Deist who actually erected a chapel on his estate. Voltaire did not believe that an adherence to any particular religious dogma was required in order to believe in God. Voltaire wrote: "What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason." His contradictory nature was, however, is evidenced by his advocacy of Deism for the elite but recommending Christianity for tailors and chamber maids. Even though Voltaire was a man who passionately believed in clarity an reason it is unclear what reasons he had for believing that man's nature is unchangeable but then advocating the arts and humanities as ways for man to evolve. He clearly believed in freedom but was rather skeptical of self governance and was horrified at the idea of revolution..
