Summary

 

Stefan Stefanovič Mokuljski: Voltaire

 

Endowed with a great mind and rare literary versatility, he was simultaneously a poet and dramatist, novelist and satirist, publicist, historian and philosopher. He worked in all areas of human thought, showing in each of them great free-spirited encouragement and ardent political temper. He made the spiritual need of France and other European countries many ideas, for the spread and development of which we should thank him, although he was often their creator. Voltaire stamped his thought on the entire Enlightenment movement of the 18th century, which is often called Voltaire's century without reason.
Voltaire was also considered the "rival of Euripides" (tragic poet) and the "tender friend of Eratos" (lyrical poet) and the "grandson of Thasos" (epic poet) and "son of Moma and Minerva" (satirist and humorist).
... Voltaire was imitated as epic and lyrical a poet, as a writer of novels and plays, as a historian and publicist. On the other hand, his influence was manifested in the general direction of socio-philosophical thought and spiritual culture of different European countries in general, which gradually became part of the circle of ideas of the French Enlightenment. His name was everywhere a symbol of enlightenment, from his mouth thousands and thousands of people heard for the first time the new words that
expressed the great liberating ideas of the third class. The degree of Voltaire's popularity in this or that European country has always been a kind of barometer of the social consciousness of the democratic circles of those countries.
Waves of enthusiasm and approval with attacks of denial of genius ... on the "super-sages of this century". Voltaire's "distortions"
and with him other French enlighteners, the newer Voltarians accepted that time. Thus already in 1788, Fonvizin called Voltaire and other philosophers charlatans, with whom "stinginess is combined with incomparable vanity".
