"All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds" — Leibniz's philosophy of optimism becomes the target of sharp satire when confronted with the Seven Years' War in Europe and the catastrophic Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Voltaire exposes the contradiction between theory and reality, challenging the era's unbridled optimism.
