By: Coleman Piburn and Jasper Keen

VOLTAIRE WAS A SMART MANE

François-Marie Arouet or better known as Voltaire was a

french writer, historian and philosopher. He had a strong

belief in the seperation of church and state, he was pro

freedom of religion and freedom of expression.

In his life he wrote more than 2000 books!

When Voltaire left school, he wanted to be a writer,

however, his father wanted him to be a lawyer. In Paris,

Voltaire pretended to be working for a notary, while,

in fact, he was writing poetry. The rotten onion

sack he was. His father then found out and sent him to study law in Normandy, where his passion for writing persevered.

A WAR WITHIN PHILOSOPHY

Voltaire Rousseau

Voltaire believed that through education and reason a man could distinguish himself from a beast.

Rousseau thought that it was exactly education and reason that forced a man to become unnatural and corrupt.

Voltaire was reported to drink 50-72 times every day. And that’s why he’s so short. And that’s why he’s so fine. And that’s why he whips his

wig back and forth. And that’s why he wrote 2000

books.
