Very good friends, here I am again with a new review about a great writer of the Enlightenment period, contemporary with Rousseau, who also had very great contributions in the ideology of the French revolution and its development, although he dies a few years before it took place, without much more to add let's talk about François-Marie Arouet popularly known as Voltaire, French writer, philosopher, historian and lawyer.
Born in france in 1694 young man who at 17 years of age formalized an avid enthusiasm for the theater, taking largely the inspiration of other people whose ideals were similar such as Molière, Racine and Corneille. However, his father was strongly opposed to this path, because he wanted his son to become a public official, so he forced Voltaire to study law, a career that he would later practice although not so often because he did not feel comfortable with what he was doing. Unlike Rousseau, Voltaire was raised in a family full of money, although they were of the lowest class among aristocrats they were still very wealthy people, this led him to receive a first-line education.
Between the years 1704 and 1711 he began to make writings about the Duke of Orleans, here began some bad omens for this philosopher, because these writings were not positivist and in favor of royalty, but on the contrary framed the harsh reality of the French people of that time, so that the duke had no remorse in imprisoning Voltaire in order that his idiosyncrasy did not proliferate, after all he was attacking him and imprisoning him was a way of imposing fear on the proletariat. Although this imprisonment did not last long, one year was enough to free him and exile him from the place, Voltaire thus arriving at Chátenay-Malaby, a place where he would cease to be known by name and would begin to use the pseudonym that we all know.
After some time there, Voltaire had a strong argument with a nobleman named Rohan, who ended up exiled him to Britain, where he would finally live a life full of relative happiness, however, at this time he would become a writer with a brutal influence in later years, since his way of thinking would be adopted by the French revolution and neutral, coming to be hated by the vast majority of monarchs of the time, this is a consequence of what promoted "Freedom, fraternity and opposition to dogmatism". He was a great friend of contemporaries of this type of philosophy, such as John Locke, Jonathan Swift and Rousseau. People who would greatly help the construction of the thought of Voltaire, a thinker who exposed multiple opinions about French society at the time, such as that the church was the greatest apex of indoctrination to the less wealthy and of course to those with lower educational levels, respected the idea of the monarchy, but did not think the same about what they did with civilization, it also called for citizens to have individual and collective rights as far as possible. He had a thousand and one issues that caused controversy, controversy and hatred where it was enacted, but this was not an impediment for him, because this took it as a way of life rather than as a job or a duty.
Despite the hatred that the crown had before this man, he did nothing against them directly, he simply had a current of thought that was taken by some, but no acts of violence were taken against the monarchy, even in some points he looked in a susceptible way, so beyond burning some of his works in the public eye they did not persecute him, unlike Rousseau who was practically a fugitive just for promoting individual thought, which is why Voltaire did manage to make the passes with the king of the time Louis XV who in the end appointed him historian of royalty, academic and knight of the royal chamber.
"Tolerance to individual ignorance and even more to collective ignorance is undoubtedly what helps to change the currents of thought, because through it we are more sure of ourselves and the perseverance presented in our image will be a fundamental part in the intellectual conflict of people, this will make them think and analyze situations more"
Without a doubt a person who deserves a great place in history, it is very worth reading, although I have not personally read any of his books I have heard one or another anecdote of this philosopher and today after this biography that cost me a little to do, I end it with the happiness of knowing that I have found another person from whom I can learn through his writings.

Starting a business is a big step, especially for first-time entrepreneurs or those who are sick of their 9-to-5 jobs. The flexibility of not being bound to an office for eight hours a day is one of the many advantages of owning a business. You are also not required to report to a superior.
Starting a business is a fantastic decision, but it can also be difficult and stressful. You can make your business a success with the appropriate advice and hard effort.
Women who are launching a company
This post will discuss some of the most important elements to consider before beginning your own business.
- The type of company you wish to start
The kind of the business you want to create is the first thing you should think about when starting your own company. What will you be selling in your business? You have three options for a business: service, retailing, or manufacturing.
Service: You may sell your time and knowledge in areas like event planning, marketing, and IT. It might also be transportation, restaurants, a spa, or a salon.
Wholesale, retail, trade, and distribution are all terms used to describe merchandising. You purchase and sell items. Retail shops, grocery stores, internet resellers, department stores, and so on are examples.
Manufacturing is the process of integrating raw ingredients, labor, and equipment to create a saleable product. Clothing, automobile, gadget, and bag makers are all examples.
- The target client
Customers are one of the factors that may help your business flourish. Customers are those who will purchase your goods or services. If you're thinking about establishing a business and already have a product or service in mind, you should perform some research to see if there's a market for it. Determine who your potential clients are.
- Geographical location
The location of your business is crucial, and it may determine whether or not it succeeds. When looking for a place, make sure you find or identify the greatest one. Your business should be located close or around your target clients. This will make it easier for them to obtain your products and services, resulting in more sales.
- Capital
After you've determined what you want to sell and where you want to sell it, the following step is to secure funding. The quantity of money needed to establish and run a firm is referred to as capital. It might be in cash or not.
To figure out how much cash you'll need, make a list of all the expenses you'll incur to establish and run your firm. Purchased assets, lease payments, remodeling, lease payments, and running expenditures are among the costs.
Recruiting a new employee
- Hire or delegate
When it comes to business, you can't be a jack of all crafts. Doing everything alone might leave you exhausted, and you won't be able to give your business the attention it deserves. You must recruit employees or outsource your business to prosper.
If you're starting a business, you should think about whether you'll recruit employees or outsource. If you believe employing is the best option, think about the wage and other government laws you must follow. Consider the experience and dependability of the firm you plan to outsource to if you decide to outsource.
- Publicity
Marketing is crucial to a company's success. If you don't invest in efficient marketing methods, your company will fail. Customers will only learn about your company through marketing.
You may promote your company in a variety of methods. You may promote it on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You might also perform email marketing or pay a marketing firm to handle it for you.
- Find a mentor or adviser.
Starting and growing a business is difficult, which is why many firms fail within the first five years. In business, you can't have all of the information or perspectives to manage every issue.
Business mentors with extensive experience in business management can help you learn more. If you hire a business strategist before you start your company, you're more likely to succeed.

Who was it?
He was born on January 18, 1689 in France, just as Voltaire was raised in a wealthy family with many privileges, however his parents make the godfather of who would later be one of the greatest thinkers in history a beggar, because consequently Montesquieu would grow up with the idea that the poor and the rich are equal, they are equal people, simply having a lower or higher socioeconomic status depending on who you are talking about.
His education was formalized near Paris places where he learned music, fencing and horsemanship received great teachings from each of his teachers who had a very complete "spirit", they instilled in Montesquieu that the value of his soul and his subconscious was greater than that of the social, political or even religious classes in some aspects. To finish his education he ended up studying Law (This does not mean that he has not acquired more information from another place, but that these are the greatest graduates that are recognized)
Unlike Rousseau and Voltaire, Montesquieu did not receive any penalty from the absolutism of the time, but from the church, since it would be against many of the thoughts promoted by the writer, this because the thought of this man only alluded to ecclesiastical thoughts, but not those of royalty, making severe criticisms of the whole church, however, it also happens that he was attributed the title of baron this because on the death of his uncle it was decided to leave the title to Montesquieu
Considered the greatest of his writings the "The Spirit of the Laws". He talked about how societies were governed through their forms of government, but not only did he limit himself to talking about the monarchy as previously said, but on the contrary he talked about all forms of government and arrived at an analysis in which he wrote that each government and each collectivity needed specific laws to be able to arise within any field that he saw fit, however, he did not go so far as to pejoratively detail any of these systems, he simply went to the analysis of what was presented at the time, in some cases it even sounded like a dualistic discourse, since although he spoke about freedom of expression as an intrinsic right to be born and private property as the goods of fundamental acquisition in the citizen. He also came to cheapen the slavery of women, this because he had the idea that they were not equal to men and therefore should be subdued.
He became a person of great value at a social and cultural level, because through his writings he not only came to have a value extrapolate in the law and the analysis of governments but also supported a lot the literature of the moment, talking about the need to have good habits to have a good life or the obscurantism present in the bad decisions of "the person" before society, he was a writer whose essays revolutionized the way of seeing the world of the moment, since the period of the Enlightenment brought with it a lot of new thinkers who would help society a posteriori, while Rousseau was the fundamental pillar in the drafting of human rights and Voltaire in the promotion of ideas contrary to the monarchy, Montesquieu served as another key piece, because through him the new ideals of government of the moment were sown. The so-called "Republic of Representative Government" came from somewhere, and that place came from this man.
This makes us think many things, all people, especially of this time had a thought that for today is not congruent, it seems "retrograde" to us. But of course it is, after all we are talking about a century with many complications social, political, judicial and religious level, so it is normal that sometimes we find these strange incongruities ... A person with dual thoughts who can provide the fundamental pillars of a new society... That was Montesquieu."
