“I met, in 1733, a young woman who thought like me, and who spent many years in the countryside, cultivating her intelligence.” This is how Voltaire, one of the main names in Western philosophy, describes Émilie du Châtelet, an intellectual marquise from the 18th century with whom he had a long relationship. Émilie du Châtelet, unlike the vast majority of women of her time, had the privilege of receiving a differentiated education from her father... with him she learned Latin, English, Greek and Italian. But as if all this wasn't enough, Emilie also dedicated herself to living her short life to the fullest, in every sense: she dedicated herself to studies, reading, her main hobbies, such as card games, pleasure, to love and also to philosophy. In the philosophical sphere, she wrote an extremely interesting treatise on happiness... A treatise in which she lists 4 Great Lessons that can guide us or perhaps even confuse us about the much-desired happiness. Unlike the Stoic philosophers, whom I particularly prefer and who have also brought several videos here to the channel, Emilie du Châtelet emphasizes how essential pleasure for pleasure's sake can be for our happiness.
