Voltaire wrote Candide, partly in response to the ideas of the philosopher Leibniz, who argued that this world is the best of all possible worlds and if God had made the world any differently, life would be much worse. You can see Voltaire mocking this opinion when one character (after a lot of terrible things happen) says, "If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the other ones like?"
