Very interesting article, great food for though. Always hungry for more work like this, if it can help us think about stuff and not accept them without analyzing.

Just a note to thank you for this excellent essay on Voltaire’s Candide. I read the book many years ago and enjoyed it enormously – the contrast between the stark horrors the befall Candide & Pangloss and the eternal and misplaced optimistic & religious beliefs of Pangloss is a great comic invention as well as great satire. I had cause to remember Pangloss (in the cause of satire) and wanted to refresh my memory (the book itself is somewhere in storage) of Pangloss’s philosophy. This article, which I found via Wikipedia, has been very helpful in confirming that Pangloss was exactly the right comparison.

thanks for this in depth article of the candide.though i`ve noticed one important point of this book that you failed to mention which is simplicity.after all the world experiences and search proved candide no worthiness in achieving the happinesss he is after,he stumbled upon this turkish gardener who seemed to have solved the mystery of happiness in life.it`s basically the core of our existence relies on the simplicity of our actions.a baby borns as naive but grows up with the projections of others around it.somehow our brains got carried on with the material and mental hunger where we gobble up every bit that comes upon us which even makes us hungrier and deadlier than ever before.the universe is endless,but in a sense it is also as simple as a plain direct thought.i think we can have all the information from around us,but we should not search for happiness and the existence in them as the incoming information from the universe(including every action of beings around us and every thing that happens) is endless.don`t you think that we would get drown in this?the turkish farmer put this to rest where he showed him the way to follow;go your own way and find the one thing of trait that satisfies your soul and by doing it, keep your entire focus on this matter as you just watch the world go by around you.there you will see the universe in a nutshell and you will understand the core of our existence.don`t look any further than the ground that you are standing on,you have all you need to understand everything in a nutshell of the universe.and happiness happens to dwell on these grounds.i think the future evolution of human understanding is advancing towards this logic as we put more emphasis on spiritual growth and simpler lives where the experiences of technology culture bound to reflect the nature upon us eventually.
so be a farmer and understand that you are a seed for everything around you too.
may we all be happy

Looking for the most important part of “Candide” and you will find that “Cultivating your own garden”vs. that of others.

I have not read full text of candide, but have gone through its analysis by Will Durant in his monumental book “the story of philosophy’. Voltaire had the capability to make people laugh even at the most painful of incidents by way of his works like candide. What is more He has the capacity to leave a lasting memory and feeling which can make peopel change in whichever way he liked. And what he liked was generally in the betterment of society to the best of my judgement.

I often wonder what a brain like that of Voltaire would work on and decimate in these enlightened days of Globalisation, global warming and pompous democracy. Hope It would have come down upon such issues like hell as the original Voltaire did in his time. But such brains carry a dangerous overtones in the sense they free thinking and may lead to situations like the French Revolution, at least in the short run, for surely mere understanding of genius is not same as the genius itself. Whatever the case may be, the arts i honestly hope would produce a modern Voltaire, as pungent in wit as the original and as bountiful.

I enjoyed reading your essay on Candide. I read the book in German when I was in the tenth grade. At first nothing really seemed to click, but now as I work on an essay of my own for my Senior project in America I find that Voltaire’s Candide in way connects a lot to the world today if you think about it. Your article has been a big help since I’ve been trying to find more articles regarding Candide, but where many of the others failed to point out yours grabbed rather quickly.
