Le Plaisir est-il le Bien ? La Renaissance reprend à son compte cette question débattue depuis le Philèbe et le livre X de l’ Ethique à Nicomaque. Au XVe siècle, Lorenzo Valla, dans son dialogue Sur le Plaisir de 1430 tranche dans le sens d’une identification entre le plaisir et le Bien suivi un siècle plus tard par Erasme qui n’hésite pas dans l’Epicurien (1533) d’assimiler le Christ à Epicure. Et Montaigne dans sa critique du stoïcisme stigmatise le danger des vertus immodérées qui excluent le plaisir. Le problème que posait Platon de la possibilité d’un faux plaisir à nouveau fascine les esprits. Et si le plaisir pensé, imaginé, rêvé pouvait réveiller les sens, toucher le corps ? Et si les barrières s’effaçaient entre le corps et l’âme ? Réhabiliter le plaisir, c’est pouvoir assumer sa part d’ombre, le déplaisir, refuser l’abstraction de leur dissociation. Accepter le plaisir, c’est accepter la mort. C’est l’une des leçons paradoxales de Peines d’Amour Perdues que la pensée baroque ne cessera d’illustrer. La Renaissance reste vigilante, comme l’avaient été les périodes précédentes, car il est un plaisir auquel il ne convient pas de laisser libre cours : le bon plaisir du monarque absolutiste.

In der Renaissance kam es europaweit zu einer grundsätzlichen Neubewertung und Pluralisierung des Heroischen: Einerseits setzte eine intensive Wiederbelebung antiker Helden-Vorstellungen ein, die nicht zuletzt die fürstliche und monarchische Selbstdarstellung prägte; andererseits erschütterte die Konfessionsspaltung den etablierten Kanon von Werten, an denen sich heroische Leistung messen ließ, und wuchs die Skepsis gegenüber einem nur militärischen Heldenkodex. Die Beiträge des interdisziplinären Sammelbandes untersuchen die Konstruktion und die medialen Bedingungen von Helden-Bildern in Geschichte, Kunst, Literatur und Wissenschaft der Renaissance: Figuren wie Herrscher und Krieger, heroische Frauen, humanistische Geisteshelden, Reformatoren und Heilige zeigen die synchrone Vielfalt in dieser Schlüsselepoche des europäischen Heldendiskurses.

David B. Goldstein argues for a new understanding of Renaissance England from the perspective of communal eating. Rather than focus on traditional models of interiority, choice and consumption, Goldstein demonstrates that eating offered a central paradigm for the ethics of community formation. The book examines how sharing food helps build, demarcate and destroy relationships - between eater and eaten, between self and other, and among different groups. Tracing these eating relations from 1547 to 1680 - through Shakespeare, Milton, religious writers and recipe book authors - Goldstein shows that to think about eating was to engage in complex reflections about the body's role in society. In the process, he radically rethinks the communal importance of the Protestant Eucharist. Combining historicist literary analysis with insights from social science and philosophy, the book's arguments reverberate well beyond the Renaissance. Ultimately, Eating and Ethics in Shakespeare's England forces us to rethink our own relationship to food.

Written by a distinguished international team of contributors, this volume explores Shakespeare's vivid depictions of moral deliberation and individual choice in light of Renaissance debates about ethics. Examining the intellectual context of Shakespeare's plays, the essays illuminate Shakespeare's engagement with the most pressing moral questions of his time, considering the competing claims of politics, Christian ethics and classical moral philosophy, as well as new perspectives on controversial topics such as conscience, prayer, revenge and suicide. Looking at Shakespeare's responses to emerging schools of thought such as Calvinism and Epicureanism, and assessing comparisons between Shakespeare and his French contemporary Montaigne, the collection addresses questions such as: when does laughter become cruel? How does style reflect moral perspective? Does shame lead to self-awareness? This book is of great interest to scholars and students of Shakespeare studies, Renaissance studies and the history of ethics.
