Abstract

Daniel Carey examines afresh the fundamental debate within the Enlightenment about human diversity. Three central figures - Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson - questioned whether human nature was fragmented by diverse and incommensurable customs and beliefs or unified by shared moral and religious principles. Locke's critique of innate ideas initiated the argument, claiming that no consensus existed in the world about morality or God's existence. Testimony of human difference established this point. His position was disputed by the third Earl of Shaftesbury who reinstated a Stoic account of mankind as inspired by common ethical convictions and an impulse toward the divine. Hutcheson attempted a difficult synthesis of these two opposing figures, respecting Locke's critique while articulating a moral sense that structured human nature. Daniel Carey concludes with an investigation of the relationship between these arguments and contemporary theories, and shows that current conflicting positions reflect long-standing differences that first emerged during the Enlightenment.

Abstract

Le XVIIIe siècle postule un progrès des connaissances humaines, mais il entend aussi recueillir les monuments du passé, en instaurant un nouveau classement des savoirs. Une première section montre comment se constitue une mémoire culturelle à l'époque des Lumières et plus particulièrement dans les années de l'Ancien Régime. Plus largement, sont abordés les grandes questions épistémologiques, et les nouvelles représentations du temps et de l'histoire. Les figures de la philosophie, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, des écrivains comme Prévost et Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, des dramaturges comme Marie-Joseph Chénier, font ensuite l'objet d'analyses spécifiques. Une troisième partie évoque, souvent avec humour, la gastronomie, le libertinage et l'érotisme dont l'époque fut si friande. Enfin le voyage, la déambulation, le rêve et l'imaginaire, sont étudiés par les historiens des sensibilités qui nous réservent à cet égard de surprenantes découvertes. Ce volume a été constitué en hommage à Jean Goulemot, professeur honoraire de l'Université de Tours, spécialiste éminent du XVIIIe siècle, dont les travaux portent tout particulièrement sur la conception de l'histoire au XVIIIe siècle et lui ont acquis une renommée internationale.

Abstract

In this engaging book David Rosen offers a radically new account of Modern poetry and revises our understanding of its relation to Romanticism. British poets from Wordsworth to Auden attempted to present themselves simultaneously as persons of power and as moral voices in their communities. The modern lyric derives its characteristic complexities-psychological, ethical, formal-from the extraordinary difficulty of this effort.The low register of our language-a register of short, concrete, native words arranged in simple syntax-is deeply implicated in this story. Rosen shows how the peculiar reputation of "plain English" for truthfulness is employed by Modern poets to conceal the rift between their (probably irreconcilable) ambitions for themselves. With a deep appreciation for poetic accomplishment and a wonderful iconoclasm, Rosen sheds new light on the innovative as well as the self-deceptive aspects of Modern poetry. This book alters our understanding of the history of poetry in the English language.
