AB  - More concise than Diderot's Encyclopedia, Voltaire's Dictionary gets to the essentials in its entry on "Liberty", not with a definition but with a dialogue. On the one hand, we find A, the master of determinism for whom autonomy consists of the power to act upon the world; on the other, his disciple, B, for whom freedom should still be, if not a matter of will, then of indifference. Who, master or disciple, will succeed in convincing us? A demiurgic Voltaire keeps an ace up his sleeve.
