Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intertwined evolution of two prominent yet antithetical schools of thought during the 18th century: primitivism and the idea of progress. The author traces their roots in 17th-century rationalist philosophy and theology, showing how the belief in the fundamental goodness and wisdom of primitive man coexisted and interacted with the Enlightenment's faith in human perfectibility. The book explores the complex interplay of these ideas in popular literature of the time, from novels to poetry and pamphlets. It reveals how primitivism, despite its logical incompatibility with progress, persisted and even gained strength due to a widespread perception of moral decline and a longing for the simplicity of an imagined 'natural' state. Ultimately, this study highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of the Enlightenment, demonstrating how seemingly contradictory ideas could coexist and shape the intellectual landscape of the period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282626143_0
