| Summary | "A Philosophical Dictionary, Volume 07" by Voltaire is a philosophical treatise written in the late 18th century. The work is part of a larger collection where Voltaire critiques and analyses various subjects, presenting his views on religion, morality, and historical figures through a satirical and often incisive lens. This volume specifically delves into topics such as the story of Joseph, the significance of Judea, and the nature of justice, reflecting on historical interpretations and moral principles. The opening of the volume introduces the story of Joseph from the Bible, portraying it as an essential narrative in ancient literature, marked by themes of jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness. Voltaire draws parallels between Joseph's trials and other historical and literary figures, emphasizing the moral implications of Joseph's character and decisions. He also explores the harsh realities of Judea, offering a critical perspective on its geography and the fate of its people. Through sharp commentary, the author sets the stage for deeper philosophical inquiries into justice and the human condition, revealing early hints of his critiques on established norms and cultural beliefs.
