French writer, satirist, the embodiment of the 18th-century Enlightenment. Voltaire is remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry. Compared to Rousseau's (1712-1778) rebelliousness and idealism, Voltaire's world view was more skeptical, but both of their ideas influenced deeply the French Revolution. Voltaire disliked Rousseau and wrote to him in 1761: "One feels like crawling on all fours after reading your work." that is my favorite historic quote!lol

Madame Geoffrin was the most influential hostess of social gatherings in Voltaire's time. She was known for bringing together intellectuals, philosophers, and artists in her salon, which became a hub of Enlightenment ideas and discussions. Voltaire himself was a frequent guest at her salons.
Voltaire did not emphasize the general will in his works. He was critical of Rousseau's concept of the general will, viewing it as potentially authoritarian and prone to oppression. Voltaire's own views leaned more towards individual liberties and freedom of expression.
