1. The other traditional attitudes and beliefs that Voltaire satirized in his book, <em>Candide</em>, are optimism, religion, avarice, power, politics, among others.

2. I think that Voltaire was very much on target for all time, not only for the eighteenth century.  This is because all the great evils that he isolated and wrote against are still present in our society today.

  • Boredom is still felt by human beings till date amidst massive industrialization and mass productive activities.  People are still bored with our activities on earth because we do not understand our purpose for being.  According to St. Augustine, we cannot find rest until we rest in our Creator God.

  • Vice and poverty have not been eradicated with all the technological advances of the modern world.  Rejection of religion will not solve our human problems.  It is the rejection of all evils and the acceptance of good that will savage our abject human condition.

Thus, Voltaire will further single out these evils in today's society.  He will even single out more, like the Holocaust, the World Wars, the buildup of atomic and nuclear bombs.
