Publisher's Synopsis
and Rousseau, edited by Thomas Dix Hincks, is a collection of essays and passages from the works of two of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment era, Voltaire and Rousseau. The book focuses on their opposition to atheism and their arguments in favor of the existence and attributes of God. The essays and passages are presented in their original French with English translations provided by Hincks. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part featuring Voltaire's writings and the second part featuring Rousseau's writings. The topics covered include the nature of God, the problem of evil, the relationship between God and the universe, and the role of religion in society.
