About “Dictionnaire philosophique”

The Philosophical Dictionary was a key work of the French Enlightenment. It criticized the outdated institutions of Old Regime France and the influence of the Catholic Church. Unlike a modern dictionary, it used sarcasm and short, wise statements to challenge traditional ideas and provoke thought. The book was a bold critique of religious and political authority.
