Set against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary France, Voltaire emerges as a pivotal figure advocating for civil liberties and religious freedom. His sharp satires critique the Catholic Church and French institutions, reflecting the Enlightenment's influence on both the American and French Revolutions. A prolific letter writer, Voltaire often faced royal disfavor due to his outspoken views. The preface emphasizes that philosophical insights are meant for the enlightened few, challenging the notion that knowledge should be hidden from the masses.
