Treatise On Tolerance And Other Writings by Voltaire
A passionate defense of religious tolerance and reason, this collection confronts superstition, fanaticism, and legal injustice through sharp satire and philosophical argument. Prompted by a notorious miscarriage of justice, the writings argue for humane laws, freedom of conscience, and the use of reason to reform society and curb clerical and judicial abuses. Overall, it champions Enlightenment principles of liberty, fairness, and skepticism toward dogma.
