Voltaire / 伏尔泰

Voltaire / 伏尔泰 appears in 92.柏拉图上班记：用哲学搞笑职场 as a salesperson fighting 卢梭. The episode places their conflict inside company sales competition, making philosophical disagreement look like a fight over orders, credit, and status.

The source also uses the scene to let 尼采 criticize Enlightenment rationality as another possible object of worship. Voltaire therefore links the sales fight to Pure Rationality Trap and the episode’s suspicion of corporate reason.

167.柏拉图、卢梭、哈耶克、阿伦特四大哲学家会如何解释算法时代？｜串台独树不成林 uses Voltaire as part of the Enlightenment background for the algorithm discussion. The episode contrasts knowledge-democratizing ideals such as encyclopedias, search, and early internet access with the risk that recommendation systems turn active inquiry into Algorithmic Reason Outsourcing / 算法理性外包.
