Following the naïve protagonist Candide, the novel critiques the philosophy of Gottfried Leibniz through the character of Pangloss, who insists that "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds" despite the numerous calamities that befall them, including the devastating Lisbon Earthquake. This stark contrast between Pangloss's unwavering optimism and the harsh realities of the 18th-century world serves as a powerful satire on blind faith in philosophical doctrines. Ultimately, Candide's journey leads him to reject this naïve optimism in favor of a more pragmatic approach to life, encapsulated in his concluding thought, "It is necessary to cultivate our garden."
