«Tratado sobre la tolerancia» is Voltaire's philosophical essay, published by Austral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In 1685 Louis XIV revokes the Edict of Nantes and France sinks into religious intolerance. Voltaire writes this work on the occasion of the case of Jean Calas, condemned for a crime he did not commit, and uses that episode to attack fanaticism and defend reason, freedom of conscience and tolerance as foundations of coexistence.
Translation by Mauro Armiño, with a reading guide by Francisco Alonso; it belongs to the Austral Classics collection and the work was originally published in 1763.
Readers interested in Enlightenment philosophy, the history of religious ideas and classical political thought.
François-Marie Arouet, known by his pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, philosopher (philosophe), satirist, and historian. Famous for his wit and his criticism of Christianity and of slavery, Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
