Abstract

The article considers a complex of ideas of Pierre Bayle, the famous French thinker of the XVIIth century, related to the religion, morality, and freedom. The great Voltaire, who, like all enlighteners, experienced the strongest influence of Bayle's main work “The Historical and Critical Dictionary”, not without reason asserted: “Bayle has everything, you have only to be able to find." The author believes that in the present conditions of the activation of religious institutions the actuality of Bayle's humanistic skepticism will increase.
