Montaigne and the Life of Freedom
Author: Felicity GreenPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139536885
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
More than any other early modern text, Montaigne's Essais have come to be associated with the emergence of a distinctively modern subjectivity, defined in opposition to the artifices of language and social performance. Felicity Green challenges this interpretation with a compelling revisionist reading of Montaigne's text, centred on one of his deepest but hitherto most neglected preoccupations: the need to secure for himself a sphere of liberty and independence that he can properly call his own, or himself. Montaigne and the Life of Freedom restores the Essais to its historical context by examining the sources, character and significance of Montaigne's project of self-study. That project, as Green shows, reactivates and reshapes ancient practices of self-awareness and self-regulation, in order to establish the self as a space of inner refuge, tranquillity and dominion, free from the inward compulsion of the passions and from subjection to external objects, forces and persons.
Essaying Montaigne
Author: John O'NeillPublisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 9780853239963
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
John O'Neill reads Montaigne's 'Essays' from the principle of friendship as a communicative and pedagogical practice in society, literature and politics. He shows how subjectivity is shaken by its internal weakness once we move inside the structure of domination in politics, gender and race.
The Early Humiliati
Author: Frances AndrewsPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139431196
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This book is the first major study in English of a group of late twelfth-century religious enthusiasts, the early Humiliati, who were condemned by the Church as heretics in 1184 but - in a remarkable transition - were reconciled seventeen years later and established a highly successful religious order in north Italy.
Portraits from the French Renaissance and the Wars of Religion
Author: André ThevetPublisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271090715
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Available for the first time in English, these thirteen selections from André Thevet’s Les vrais pourtraits et vies des hommes illustres offer a glimpse of France during a time of great upheaval. Originally published in 1584, Thevet’s collection contains over two hundred biographical sketches, detailing the lives of important persons from antiquity to the sixteenth century. Edward Benson and Roger Schlesinger have translated and annotated Thevet’s portraits of his contemporaries, and divided them into three categories: monarchs, aristocrats, and scholars. Additionally, an extensive introduction places the work in context and describes the critical attention that Thevet and his writings have received. Together these portraits provide a history of sixteenth-century France as the country underwent tremendous change: from an intellectual renaissance and its first encounter with the New World to the Protestant Reformation and the Wars of Religion that followed. France was irrevocably altered by these events and Thevet’s account of the lives of individuals who struggled with them is indispensable.
