Download or read book Philosophical Dialogues written by Voltaire and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation directly from the original French manuscript of Voltaire's 1728 Philosophical Dialogues (original title "Dialogues philosophiques"). This edition also contains supplemental material on Voltaire including an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Voltaire's life and works, summaries of each of the works in his corpus, and a glossary of Philosophic terminology used by Voltaire. Voltaire wrote this during the beginning of the Enlightenment period, which was a time of seismic intellectual and philosophical change in central Europe. Philosophical Dialogues is a collection of theoretical conversations between various historical characters including Eramus, ancient philosophers, Protestant Reformers and Materialist European philosophers, in which they discuss topics such as religion, science, and morality. The work was important because it challenged traditional religious beliefs, contrasting vastly different worldviews and great thinkers, and sparked debate about the role of reason and science in society on top of the massive conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism. These dialogues are fascinating "fake" conversations between ideologies that remain tremendously relevant today.

Download or read book Satire in Colonial Spanish America written by Julie Greer Johnson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satire, the use of criticism cloaked in wit, has been employed since classical times to challenge the established order of society. In colonial Spanish America during the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, many writers used satire to resist Spanish-imposed social and literary forms and find an authentic Latin American voice. This study explores the work of eight satirists of the colonial period and shows how their literary innovations had a formative influence on the development of the modern Latin American novel, essay, and autobiography. The writers studied here include Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Juan del Valle y Caviedes, Cristóbal de Llerena, and Eugenio Espejo. Johnson chronicles how they used satire to challenge the "New World as Utopia" myth propagated by Spanish authorities and criticize the Catholic church for its role in fulfilling imperialistic designs. She also shows how their marginalized status as Creoles without the rights and privileges of their Spanish heritage made them effective satirists. From their writings, she asserts, emerges the first self-awareness and national consciousness of Spanish America. By linking the two great periods of Latin American literarure—the colonial writers and the modern generation—Satire in Colonial Spanish America makes an important contribution to Latin American literature and culture studies. It will also be of interest to all literary scholars who study satire.
Download or read book Colloquies written by Desiderius Erasmus and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-12-15 with total page 1296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erasmus' Familiar Colloquies grew from a small collection of phrases, sentences, and snatches of dialogue written in Paris about 1497 to help his private pupils improve their command of Latin. Twenty years later the material was published by Johann Froben (Basel 1518). It was an immediate success and was reprinted thirty times in the next four years. For the edition of March 1522 Erasmus began to add fully developed dialogues, and a book designed to improve boys' use of Latin (and their deportment) soon became a work of literature for adults, although it retained traces of its original purposes. The final Froben edition (March, 1533) had about sixty parts, most of them dialogues. It was in the last form that the Colloquies were read and enjoyed for four centuries. For modern readers it is one of the best introductions to European society of the Renaissance and Reformation periods, with lively descriptions of daily life and provocative discussions of political, religious, social, and literary topics, presented with Erasmus's characteristic wit and verve. Each colloquy has its own introduction and full explanatory, historical, and biographical notes. Volumes 39 and 40 of the Collected Works of Erasmus series – Two-volume set.

Download or read book Languages of Reform in the Eighteenth Century written by Susan Richter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies perceive "Reform" or "Reforms" as substantial changes and significant breaks which must be well-justified. The Enlightenment brought forth the idea that the future was uncertain and could be shaped by human beings. This gave the concept of reform a new character and new fields of application. Those who sought support for their plans and actions needed to reflect, develop new arguments, and offer new reasons to address an anonymous public. This book aims to compile these changes under the heuristic term of "languages of reform." It analyzes the structures of communication regarding reforms in the 18th century through a wide variety of topics.
