| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 歷史學研究所 === 99 === This thesis will focus on Voltaire’s An Essay on Universal History, the Manners, and Spirit of Nations to figure out how Voltaire shaped his conception of the “World”, trying to depict his views about how to write the history. What is the meaning of the “World” in the mind of Voltaire? What kind of material did he acquire to describe the “mind” and “manners” of the European countries and others? What is his historical thought? All of the answer to those questions could help us to understand the concept about how to write the “world history” and the “Weltanschauung” in 18th century Europe.
