Abstract

The Satan of Paradise Lost has fascinated generations of readers. This book attempts to explain how and why Milton's Satan is so seductive. It reasserts the importance of Satan against those who would minimize the poem's sympathy for the devil and thereby make Milton orthodox. Neil Forsyth argues that William Blake got it right when he called Milton a true poet because he was "of the Devils party" even though he set out "to justify the ways of God to men." In seeking to learn why Satan is so alluring, Forsyth ranges over diverse topics--from the origins of evil and the relevance of witchcraft to the status of the poetic narrator, the epic tradition, the nature of love between the sexes, and seventeenth-century astronomy. He considers each of these as Milton introduces them: as Satanic subjects. Satan emerges as the main challenge to Christian belief. It is Satan who questions and wonders and denounces. He is the great doubter who gives voice to many of the arguments that Christianity has provoked from within and without. And by rooting his Satanic reading of Paradise Lost in Biblical and other sources, Forsyth retrieves not only an attractive and heroic Satan but a Milton whose heretical energies are embodied in a Satanic character with a life of his own.

Abstract

This volume is the result of a collective desire to pay homage to Neil Forsyth, whose work has significantly contributed to scholarship on Satan. This volume is "after" Satan in more ways than one, tracing the afterlife of both the satanic figure in literature and of Neil Forsyth's contribution to the field, particularly in his major books The Old Enemy: Satan and the Combat Myth (Princeton University Press, 1987, revised 1990) and The Satanic Epic (Princeton University Press, 2003).

Natur in politischen Ordnungsentwürfen der Vormoderne

Abstract

Von der Antike bis an die Schwelle der Moderne wurden politische Ordnungen immer wieder im Rückgriff auf die schillernde Semantik von ,Natur' bestimmt. Was lange Zeit als obsolet galt, erlebt in der politischen Rhetorik unserer Tage eine erstaunliche Renaissance. Durch die Rekonstruktion der politischen Funktionalisierung von Natur in einem weiten Spektrum historischer Fallbeispiele bieten die Beiträge des Bandes eine Archäologie heutiger Debatten. In der Geschichte wurde Natur zum einen als normatives Modell herangezogen, um politische Ordnung zu legitimieren, zum anderen erschien sie als eine anarchische Gegenkraft, die durch politisch-kulturelle Ordnungsleistungen gezähmt werden muss. Zudem gilt: Wer sich in politischen Diskussionen auf Natur beruft, unterstellt Gegebenheiten, die sich menschlicher Verfügungsmacht entziehen. Sowohl aus ihrer Doppeldeutigkeit wie aus dem Phantasma ihrer Unverfügbarkeit gewinnt die Berufungsinstanz Natur in politischen Diskussionen ihre besondere rhetorisch-argumentative Stärke.
