Voltaire in the Shades: or Dialogues on the Deistical Controversy (1770) is a book written by William Julius Mickle. The book is a series of dialogues between the famous Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire and several other historical figures who have passed away and are now residing in the afterlife. The dialogues revolve around the topic of deism and the controversy surrounding it during the Enlightenment period. Voltaire, who was known for his skeptical views on religion, engages in debates with the other characters on various topics such as the existence of God, the nature of the universe, and the role of religion in society. The book provides a unique perspective on the intellectual debates of the Enlightenment period and offers insights into the philosophical and theological ideas that shaped the era. It is a thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of ideas and the intellectual debates of the Enlightenment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
