How do you think Voltaire's trip to England was a turning point for him and for the Enlightenment?

He was influed by the freedom (by the time's standards) he found in England comparing to France.

Why do you think Denis Diderot said that an intolerant man is an evil man? Do you agree? Explain your answer.

Yes, I agree. Because to be intolerant means not to listen to the other side and acknowldege their right to have a different opinion, this can lead to de-humanization of the opponent to the point of justifying any evil act towards him/her.

Why do you think the philosophes never recognized their own prejudices about women?

Maybe they are the product of their time, they are humans, and as any normal human being they are/were failable. Sometimes they could see things that no-one had ever seen before but sometimes they failed to acknowledge their mistakes and their times' mistakes.
