Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating look at a pivotal intellectual and religious debate that shook 17th-century France. The author delves into the heated controversy surrounding the Jansenists, a group of devout Catholic reformers, and their powerful opponents, the Jesuits. The book presents a lively account of this conflict, exploring the clash of ideas over free will, divine grace, and the nature of sin. Through a series of compelling letters, the author exposes the intricate arguments and moral complexities of this debate, highlighting the stark differences between the Jansenist emphasis on personal conscience and the Jesuit focus on practical obedience. With wit and incisive reasoning, the author dissects the Jesuit's system of moral theology, revealing how their casuistry, or the use of subtle distinctions to justify actions, can lead to the erosion of ethical principles. This book offers a timeless perspective on the enduring struggle between religious authority and intellectual freedom, as well as a vibrant window into the intellectual and cultural landscape of a bygone era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
