About this book

"A Philosophical Dictionary, Volume 06" by Voltaire is an encyclopedic dictionary published in 1764. This alphabetically arranged work emerged from a dinner party challenge at Frederick II's Prussian court in 1752. Voltaire critiques religious institutions and champions tolerance, deism, and press freedom through compact, accessible articles. Designed to fit in one's pocket, this revolutionary text educated and provoked readers across Enlightenment Europe. While the public eagerly consumed multiple editions, religious authorities condemned it, burning copies in town squares across France and Switzerland.
