Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the complex relationship between Frederick II of Prussia and the French intellectual elite of the Enlightenment. During the mid-18th century, Frederick maintained an extensive correspondence with Voltaire, and the book delves into the nuances and complexities of their philosophical exchange. The author explores the ways in which their ideas and perspectives shaped their views on politics, religion, and the role of the sovereign in society. Through a deep analysis of their letters and other historical documents, the book offers a rich understanding of the intellectual and cultural currents of the time.
