Extractions: Bienvenue Bienvenue sur le site Web des Scouts de France de Ferney-Voltaire, groupe Notre Dame de la Route Blanche. Ce site a été créé en mars 1996, c'est l'un des premiers du genre, consacré aux Scouts de France. Il compte aujourd'hui 262 photos dans l'album photos 192 pages semi-statiques sans compter les pages dynamiques, soit 600 fichiers pour un total de 5 Mo. En 2003, les Scouts existeront depuis 50 ans dans notre ville, et ce sera pour nous l'occasion de rendre à M. Goiffon un hommage tout particulier, de permettre à plusieurs générations de Scouts de se retrouver et de fêter ensemble toutes ces années consacrées à l'éducation des jeunes qui nous sont confiés, conformément aux 5 buts que nous fixe le Scoutisme. A cette occasion, Jean-Rémi et la troupe scoute ont entamé le tournage d'un film de fiction évoquant la vie du groupe durant ces 50 ans. Un gros travail en perspective, pour un voyage qui nous emmènera du château de Voltaire à l'église de Ferney, en passant par le Fort l'Ecluse. Suite de cet article Au mois de Janvier 2002, les 26 Pionniers et Pionnières de Ferney-Voltaire, sur proposition de l'équipe d'animation, ont choisis de mener à bien une Entreprise portant sur la région dans laquelle ils vivent, et plus particulièrement sur le Jura. L'aboutissement de cette action devait être la dépollution d'une doline au milieu du Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Jura.

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback French writer, satirist, the embodiment of the 18th-century Enlightenment, remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry, a friend of Frederick II of Prussia and Catherina the Great of Russia. Voltaire represented anti-romanticism, wise skepticism, sober classicism; he did not believe in the solution of the great metaphysical problems and his religiosity was anticlerical. But compared to Rousseau's (1712-1778) rebelliousness, Voltaire was deeply rooted in the middle-class values. Voltaire disliked his great competing figure of literature and philosophy, but their ideas influenced deeply the French Revolution. In 1761 he wrote to Rousseau: "O ne feels like crawling on all fours after reading your work." " Liberty of thought is the life of the soul." (from Essay on Epic Poetry At his 1726 stay at the Bastille Voltaire was visited by a flow of admirers. Between 1726 and 1729 he lived in exile mainly in England. There he avoided trouble for three years and wrote in English his first essays, ESSAY UPON EPIC POETRY and ESSAY UPON THE CIVIL WARS IN FRANCE, which were published in 1727. After his return to France Voltaire wrote plays, poetry, historical and scientific treatises and became royal historiographer. HISTOIRE DE CHARLES XII (1731) used novelistic technique and rejected the idea that divine intervention guides history. In 1734 appeared his Philosophical Letters

French Deism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
Brief historical survey of the development of Deism in France, as espoused by voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/d/deismfre.htm

Extractions: French Deism With other English influences Deism entered France, where, however, only its materialistic and revolutionary phases were seized upon, to the exclusion of that religiosity which had never been lost in England. French Deism stood outside of theology. The English writers who came to exercise the greatest influence were Hobbes, Locke, Shaftesbury, Pope, Bolingbroke, and Hume. Of the true Deists only Collins, the most critical and the least theological, became prominent. Voltaire Voltaire (d. 1778) embraced the conception of natural religion with ardor, and entered into a polemics against intolerance in Church and State relations as well as against the philosophy of the Church and the prevailing religious Cartesianism ( Essai sur les mmurs et l'esprit des nations ; Dictionnaire philosophique , 1764). He derived his natural philosophy from Newton and Clarke, his theory of knowledge and his ideas on toleration from Locke, the main principles of his ethics from Shaftesbury, his critical method and the conception of natural religion from the Deists. All phenomena are explained historically by the interaction between man and his environment, and all things are governed by God acting only in accordance with natural laws. Natural morality and religion are not entirely innate ideas, but rather simple and universally prevalent conditions standing in need of development and following a course that leads through errors arising from ignorance and fear to an ultimate standard truth which is characterized as the "fruit of the cultivated reason." Deism is thereby emptied of all religious content and restricted to the field of morals and rational metaphysics.

Extractions: Object 10 of 10 When Voltaire (1694-1778) returned to Paris in February 1778 from decades of exile in Switzerland, he was met with tumultuous welcome in the streets of Paris. Crowds pulled his carriage and surrounded his house, clamoring for a glimpse of this skeptical philosophe, who was a playwright, novelist, historian, satirist, champion of the oppressed and the century's greatest wit. He was eighty-four years old, and the exertion killed him before the end of May. During those few months Voltaire sat several times for Houdon, who portrayed him in busts and as a seated figure, in classical drapery and contemporary dress. Voltaire became Houdon's most popular subject and one of his most compelling characterizations. This version, which is the simplest, seems also the closest to life. Its realism sagging skin and bald head has the austere truth of portrait busts from republican Rome. This conception was probably the basis for other interpretations, like the wigged Voltaire also in the Gallery's collection. Voltaire's expression seems to change as the light, or our point of view, shifts. By turns he is wise or sarcastic, understanding or impatient, engaged or introspective. But always, his features, especially his eyes, are animated by intelligence and wit. Houdon developed an effective way to capture the depth and glint of an eye in stone. Within the hollow iris, spokes radiate from a deeply drilled pupil, and just under the lid, Houdon left a tiny peg of stone to suggest the reflection of light.

Cabaret Voltaire Interview
Interview with Richard Kirk from early 1993, from the archives of the ezine Chaos Control.
http://www.chaoscontrol.com/archives/cabaretv.html

Extractions: To fans of electronic and experimental music, Cabaret Voltaire are truly legends. Since 1978, the Sheffield-based group has been using technology to push the boundries of music to the absolute limits. Originally a trio of Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder and Christopher Watkins, Cabaret Voltaire are right up there with Throbbing Gristle as the pioneers of "industrial" music. The band, now consisting of just Kirk and Mallinder, has continued to evolve over the years and expand out of the "industrial" genre. Cabaret Voltaire has released two albums in the past year and half - "Plasticity" and "International Language"- and in April will complete the trilogy with "The Conversation." The three releases show that Cabaret Voltaire are right at home with todays styles of electronic music In Britain, Cabaret Voltaire are releasing on their own label (their music is licensed to Instinct for American distribution). Kirk says that having their own label allows them the luxury of putting out as many CDs as they want, bringing back the highly prolific nature that Cabaret Voltaire displayed in their early years. "Ultimately, I feel happier not working with the framework of a major because they don't like you to make too many records," he explains. "They prefer you to do like one record and spend the next three years promoting it. It's frustrating to me as an artist because I like to be constantly working on new music, and if you've got no outlet it's frustrating."

http://www.cc-pays-de-gex.fr/mairies/ferney/voltaire.htm

Extractions: A Ferney, Voltaire publia Candide et rédigea le Traité sur la Tolérance, le Dictionnaire Philosophique... Il se battit victorieusement pour la réhabilitation de Calas et, par lettres, libellés ou pamphlets, fut un des artisans majeurs de Révolution française, intervenue onze ans après sa mort. Le 5 juin 1998, Catherine Trautmann, ministre de la culture, est venue à Ferney pour annoncer l'acquisition du château de Voltaire par l'Etat. Dès 1999, un musée sera installé au château, qui sera ouvert toute l'année, alors qu'on ne pouvait jusqu'ici le visiter que les samedis d'été. Mais surtout, au-delà du patrimoine immobilier, c'est le personnage de Voltaire, sa mémoire, ses prolongements contemporains, que l'Etat français et la Ville de Ferney-Voltaire veulent enfin mettre en pleine lumière. A l'enseigne de "L'Auberge de l'Europe", un centre Culturel de Rencontre verra bientôt le jour à Ferney. Dirigé par Hervé Loichemol, il s'appuiera sur le patrimoine voltairien (château, musée, oeuvre littéraire) pour développer une politique d'accueil d'écrivains persécutés (Ferney-Voltaire entrera prochainement dans le réseau villes-refuges du Parlement International des Ecrivains) et amplifiera une activité culturelle déjà largement engagée à la Ferme du Châtelard, transformée en théâtre pour accueillir les pièces - ô combien actuelles - de Voltaire. Du château au Châtelard, un itinéraire voltairien permet dès aujourd'hui d'apprécier le rôle du philosophe, qui fit construire la plupart des maisons encore visibles dans le centre historique de Ferney.

Extractions: "O My Lord! Increase me in knowledge!" - Qur'an 20:114 Voltaire on the Trinity Translated from Voltaire's Dictionnaire Philosophique MUSLIM ANSWERS (Note: For those not familiar with Voltaire's style, this entire essay is written tongue-in-cheek, i.e. he is being sarcastic ANTI-TRINITARIANS T here are heretics who might not be regarded as Christians. Nevertheless, they recognize Jesus to be saviour and mediator; but they dare to maintain That nothing is more contrary to strict reason than what is taught among Christians about the Trinity of persons in a single divine essence, the second of which was begotten by the first, and the third of which proceeds from the two others. That this unintelligible doctrine is nowhere found in scripture. That no passage can be produced that authorizes it and to which, without in any way departing from the spirit of the text, a clearer, more natural meaning cannot be given, one more consistent with common sense and the basic and immutable truths. That to maintain, as do their adversaries, that there are several distinct "persons" in the Divine Essence, and that it is not the eternal who is the only True God, but that the Son and the Holy Ghost must be added to them, is to introduce the crudest and most dangerous error into the church of Jesus Christ, since it manifestly encourages polytheism. That it implies a contradiction to say that there is only one God and that nevertheless there are three "persons", each of which is truly God.

Extractions: A B RIEF H ISTORY: Cabaret Voltaire (CV) started out in the mid-70's as industrial noise outfit. There was a brief industrial-disco phase for CV in the the mid-80's, followed by house. At the dawn of a new decade, Cabaret Voltaire, now Stephan Mallinder and Richard H. Kirk, started to ease from techno/bleep into trance/ambient. The results were quite startling and Cabaret Voltaire finally regained the attention they deserved. At the height of the trance/ambient wave, Cabaret Voltaire parted ways. While Mallinder went off to Australia to study, Kirk continues on with solo projects (Richard Kirk, Sandoz, etc).
