Voltaire wrote Candide and Dictionnaire Philosophique.He also worked for freedom of speech and tolerance.
Voltaire, in Candide makes a blatant attack on Leibniz's philosophy through the character of Pangloss. Throughout the book, Pangloss preaches a blind optimism despite all the disease, rape, and corruption around him. He refuses to open his eyes to reality, to see that optimism is not always appropriate.
Voltaire wrote Candide to destroy the philosophy of optimism. Philosophical Optimism was philosophy promoted by Leibniz that states In order to believe in a benevolent diety one must believe there is no misery in the world or this is the best possible world. I believe he may have written Candide to shed light on the hypocrisy of his time.
Candide is a fictional character created by French philosopher Voltaire in his novella of the same name. Candide is depicted as a naïve and optimistic young man who undergoes a series of hardships and disillusionments that challenge his positive outlook on life. The character of Candide serves as a vehicle for Voltaire to satirize various aspects of society, religion, and philosophy.
Voltaire's "Candide" was first published in 1759 by the French publisher Marc-Michel Rey. The work was initially released anonymously, which was common for controversial texts at the time. Rey was known for publishing works that often faced censorship, and "Candide" was no exception, as it critiqued optimism and societal norms of the era.
That would be Candide.
