First published in 1752, "Micromegas" is one of Voltaire’s best-known works. It is a tale of mordant irony, and actually the original science-fiction short story. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromegas discovers the people of Earth, so small compared to him that he first believes that no creature this size can hope to achieve any degree of intelligence; he will soon discover the ways and thoughts of these diminutive people, who clearly have an over-inflated idea of their own importance in the universe. Voltaire's extrapolations of sun-powered interstellar flight, alien civilizations, and the two moons of Mars, are designed to make us see ourselves in a new light and laugh at what we find.

Each poem in this chasm is a leap into the void, an exploration of the darkest corners of the soul. Through images that ...

Philosophy has always been more than an ivory tower discipline. Renowned philosophers from Plato to Nietzsche and many others produced fiction with thought-provoking philosophical content. Many of philosophy’s story-tellers preferred long walks rather than the confines of the ivory tower. I’m a workaday philosopher of no renown who has enjoyed both for a long time, deep thoughts in the Tower, long walks to process them.
