Download or read book La philosophie de l inqui tude en France au XVIIIe si cle written by Jean Deprun and published by Vrin. This book was released on 1979 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'histoire des idées ne saurait se réduire à l'exégèse de quelques systèmes canoniques. On s'est proposé ici l'étude d'un fait culturel global qui mène le lecteur de la musique à la métaphysique, de la mystique à la médecine, de la théologie au théâtre et au roman, en passant par la poétique, l'art des jardins et l'architecture. Les auteurs mineurs, éternels "humiliés et offensés" de l'histoire, y ont place aux côtés de Rousseau, Diderot, Helvétius, Voltaire ou Sade. L'âge des Lumières n'a pas ignoré l'inquiétude. Un vaste dialogue s'y fait entendre entre les malebranchistes, qui prolongent et modernisent les analyses augustiniennes, et les lockistes, qui réintègrent l'inquiétude dans la nature. C'est en marge de cette lutte conceptuelle que les mystiques cherchent l'inquiétude - comme les communistes utopiques - dans l'esprit "propriétaire", les théoriciens de la musique dans la modulation en mineur et les médecins de l'école montpelliéraine dans les crispations du diaphragme. Centrée principalement sur l'espace intellectuel français, cette enquête nous conduit de la "crise de la conscience européenne" à la naissance du romantisme. Le renouveau spiritualiste, qui ouvre avec Maine de Biran le XIXe siècle, ne cherche pas à réhabiliter une inquiétude réduite par les médecins idéologues à un simple frémissement organique. On assiste, semble-t-il, à une "perte de l'inquiétude" : perte définitive ou simple accident de parcours ? Notre époque, à qui la dépression et l'angoisse sont familières, gagnerait-elle à redécouvrir le concept d'inquiétude, tel qu'il fut affiné à l'âge des Lumières ? Le lecteur en jugera."

Download or read book Enlightened Nightscapes written by Pamela F. Phillips and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together eleven case studies that address how the night became visible in the long and global eighteenth century through different mediums and in different geographical contexts. Situated on the eve of the introduction of artificial lighting, the long eighteenth century has much to say about night’s darkness and brilliance. The eighteenth century has been bound up epistemologically with images of light, reason, and order. Night and day, light and darkness, reason and mystery, however, are not necessarily at odds in the eighteenth century. In their analysis of narratives, poetry, urban spaces, music, the visual arts, and geological phenomena, the essays provide various frameworks to examine the representation, treatment, and meaning of the enlightened night. The transnational and multidisciplinary nature of the volume presents a survey of the research currently being done in the field of the long eighteenth-century night. This collection contributes to an ongoing exercise that questions the accepted definitions of the Enlightenment, and by bringing Eighteenth-Century Studies into dialogue with Night Studies, it enriches the critical conversation between these lines of research.

Download or read book Salvator Rosa in French Literature written by James Patty and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Download or read book Penser l art dans la seconde moiti du XVIIIe si cle written by Christian Michel and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2013 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, émergent des discours sur l'art destinés à une longue postérité. Alors que les traités en France depuis le siècle précédent avaient été élaborés autour de l'Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, et reposaient essentiellement sur l'expérience des oeuvres et la mise en évidence des qualités et défauts de celles-ci, afin de faciliter la pratique de l'art par la découverte de ses règles internes, de nouveaux acteurs interviennent, pour lesquels le mode d'élaboration des oeuvres n'est plus l'enjeu central. Les philosophes s'interrogent sur la validité du jugement esthétique ; les critiques d'art sur l'effet produit par les oeuvres ; les historiens sur les causes du progrès et du déclin de l'art à travers les siècles. Les discours se multiplient, se nourrissent mutuellement, s'entremêlent. On discute des origines de l'art, de ses finalités, des moyens de le faire progresser... Les débats qui s'engagèrent et les systèmes explicatifs qui furent utilisés, pour la plupart, ne sont plus les nôtres, mais ils ont ouvert la voie, pour le meilleur et pour le pire, à la multiplicité des approches encore aujourd'hui usitées et qui font de l'art un objet de préoccupations largement partagées par les chercheurs et le public. Les articles de ce recueil témoignent du foisonnement intellectuel qui caractérise le siècle de l'abbé Du Bos, de Diderot et de Winckelmann.

Download or read book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Download or read book Isaiah Berlin and the Enlightenment written by Laurence Brockliss and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaiah Berlin (1909-97) was recognized as Britain's most distinguished historian of ideas. Many of his essays discussed thinkers of what this book calls the 'long Enlightenment' (from Vico in the eighteenth century to Marx and Mill in the nineteenth, with Machiavelli as a precursor). Yet he is particularly associated with the concept of the 'Counter-Enlightenment', comprising those thinkers (Herder, Hamann, and even Kant) who in Berlin's view reacted against the Enlightenment's naïve rationalism, scientism and progressivism, its assumption that human beings were basically homogeneous and could be rendered happy by the remorseless application of scientific reason. Berlin's 'Counter-Enlightenment' has received critical attention, but no-one has yet analysed the understanding of the Enlightenment on which it rests. Isaiah Berlin and the Enlightenment explores the development of Berlin's conception of the Enlightenment, noting its curious narrowness, its ambivalence, and its indebtedness to a specific German intellectual tradition. Contributors to the book examine his comments on individual writers, showing how they were inflected by his questionable assumptions, and arguing that some of the writers he assigned to the 'Counter-Enlightenment' have closer affinities to the Enlightenment than he recognized. By locating Berlin in the history of Enlightenment studies, this book also makes a contribution to defining the historical place of his work and to evaluating his intellectual legacy.

Download or read book Memoirs of an Egotist written by Stendhal and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.
