Woooooow this is the best class of the whole course. I really liked it because it has to do with human rights and politics. My specialty in law is human rights and I will always protect the human rights of people: ‘I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it to the death’ is one of the most famous quotes that are pronounced when someone wants to convey their disagreement with what their interlocutor says or thinks but that they respect her for the fundamental right to freedom that we all have to express our opinions.
It is common for this quote to be accompanied by the tagline “As Voltaire said …”, wrongly attributing it to the famous French philosopher and writer François-Marie Arouet, better known by the pseudonym “Voltaire”.
He never actually uttered that phrase (or at least there is no written record that he was) and we really owe the authorship of it to the British writer Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who was a great student of the life and work of Voltaire and author. from an important biography entitled ‘Los amigos de Voltaire’ (The Friends of Voltaire) published in 1906.
