Voltaire - Mélanges de Philosophie - 1757

Rare illustrated edition of this work that gathers a set of philosophical, historical, critical, and polemical texts representative of the author's thought in the mid-18th century, in which several of the major concerns that run through his oeuvre can be found -

In a form often fragmentary, made up of reflections, articles, letters, essays and short treatises, this volume testifies to a philosophy that does not necessarily seek to build an abstract and closed system, but prefers to confront reason with the prejudices, traditions and abuses of its time -
