The Oxford Handbook of Montaigne
In 1580, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) published a book unique by its title and its content: Essays"R. A literary genre was born. At first sight, the Essays resemble a patchwork of personal reflections, but they engage with questions that animate the human mind, and tend toward a single goal: to live better in the present and to prepare for death. For this reason, Montaigne's thought and writings have been a subject of enduring interest across disciplines. This Handbook brings together essays by prominent scholars that examine Montaigne's literary, philosophical, and political contributions, and assess his legacy and relevance today in a global perspective. The chapters of this Handbook of...
Inventing Agency
Inventing Agency addresses some of the most central and pressing concerns in criticism, theory, and philosophy today. As new metaphysics of the realia of power and independently animated objects have replaced ancient conceptualizations of substance, being, and causation, the question of the “subject”-of the capability for just such conceptual change, for acting to any effect whatsoever-has reemerged with fresh critical urgency. Writing on theories and fictions of the subject from Aristotle to Althusser and Fielding to Flaubert, the contributors to Inventing Agency explore the unprecedented productions of the subject as agent-of cognition, aesthetic experience and judgment, imagination an...
Towards an Equality of the Sexes in Early Modern France
This volume sets out to examine the ways in which an equality between the sexes is constructed, conceptualised, imagined or realised in early modern France, a period and a country which produced some of the earliest theorisations on equality. In so doing, it aims to contribute towards the development of the history of equality as an intellectual category within the history of political thought, and to situate "the woman question" within that history. The eleven chapters in the volume span the fields of political theory, philosophy, literature, history and history of ideas, bringing together literary scholars, historians, philosophers and scholars of political thought, and examining an extens...
Ruling Women, Volume 1
Ruling Women is the first study of its kind devoted to an analysis of the debate concerning government by women in seventeenth-century France. Drawing on a wide range of political, feminist and dramatic texts, Conroy sets out to demonstrate that the dominant discourse which upholds patriarchy at the time is frequently in conflict with alternative discourses which frame gynæcocracy as a feasible, and laudable reality, and which reconfigure (wittingly or unwittingly) the normative paradigm of male authority. Central to the argument is an analysis of how the discourse which constructs government as a male prerogative quite simply implodes when juxtaposed with the traditional political discours...
Die Saint-Simonisten und die Konstruktion des Weiblichen (1829-1845)
Die von den Saint-Simonisten schon zu einem historisch frühen Zeitpunkt (1829) gestellte Frauenfrage setzte eine Konstruktion des Weiblichen voraus, welche im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht. Das Weibliche wurde in der saint-simonistischen Bewegung zur theoretischen Grundlage religiöser und sozialpolitischer Kämpfe: Es ging den Saint-Simonisten um die Konstruktion einer Anthropologie der Geschlechter, die ihre materialistische Geschichtsphilosophie untermauern sollte. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist den jüdischen und christlichen Grundannahmen der saint-simonistischen Doktrin gewidmet, welche einen derartigen Entwurf des Weiblichen ermöglichten. Die Mystik des Weiblichen erweist sich als ...
