This volume brings together many of Voltaire's most controversial
reflections on religion and philosophy. In "Le Philosophe ignorant"
Voltaire summarises his doubts about the philosophers of his age
and theories of systematization, seeking to show the limits of
metaphysics. "L'Examen important de milord Bolingbroke" is a
polemical work which uses the excuse of being a 'translation' of a
letter from the English Lord Bolingbroke to diffuse Voltaire's own
radical views. "Andre Destouches a Siam" is a satirical dialogue
between a French musician and a Siamese bureaucrat, presenting a
'utopian' society in which the justice system is arbitrary, based
on archaic traditions and religious fanaticism. "Les Questions de
Zapata" was published as a pamphlet, purportedly by a professor of
theology in Salamanca, on the inconsistencies of the Old and New
Testament.
