▼ This thesis is an analysis of the nature of scientific history in the late Scottish Enlightenment. Using Adam Ferguson's History of the Progress and the Termination of the Roman Republic (1799) as the main analytical framework, the thesis explores two fundamental questions: the consolidation of a scientific epistemology in the field of history and its role in shaping British politics during the Age of Revolutions. Still trying to navigate the new political realities of the Union of 1707, for philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment such as Adam Ferguson the French Revolution posed a direct challenge to the commercial civilisation epitomised by modern Britain. Aiming to mirror the successful discoveries that empiricist methodologies had prompted in the field of natural philosophy, Ferguson set out to uncover the moral and political laws underpinning society. He turned to the history of the rise and fall of Roman Republic as his source material and elevated it to the status of universal tragedy. Ultimately, what Ferguson wanted was to provide the political class of modern Britain with a scientific-based model for discussion. Moreover, he claimed that Progress and Termination was intended as an impartial narrative for the wider civic community to articulate its national identity through a fact-based public debate and in the face of a new political era for modern Europe. This thesis examines the theory and practice behind this approach and demonstrates that the practice of philosophical history during the late Scottish Enlightenment cannot be understood without the development of a modern scientific epistemology. The thesis is divided into four chapters which focus on context, method, structure, and content of Progress and Termination. The first two chapters analyse the figure of the writer and that of the reader of history. They situate Ferguson's persona and work within the political and cultural contexts of late eighteenth-century Scotland. In doing so, they show how Ferguson's theory of history shaped his views of the civic function of historians and their readers within the modern political nation. Chapter three examines the structure of Progress and Termination through Ferguson's use of three different categories of historical time; it illustrates how Ferguson's use of time informed the political and moral message of his history. Finally, chapter four studies how the narrative of Progress and Termination allowed Ferguson to engage with the convulsive political landscape of post-1789 Europe and why he believed that his methodology could provide Britain with a solution to the challenges of modernity.

▼ In recent years, the relationship between religion and Enlightenment, traditionally cast in opposition to one another, has received increasing reconsideration. Scholars now recognise that even orthodox religion played a central role within the Enlightenment project. This development has marked a paradigm shift in Atlantic world and Enlightenment historiography. However, while the relationship between religion and Enlightenment has been greatly clarified, there remain major gaps in our understanding of the nature and parameters of this relationship. This thesis contributes to the understanding of religion’s function within Enlightenment thought and practice through a case study of the colonial missionary work of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge (SSPCK). Using primary sources such as institutional records, sermons, journals, diaries and letters, it examines evangelism within the framework of the Enlightenment. The study demonstrates first how both the founders of the SSPCK and the Society’s most fervent advocates of missionary work in the colonies were simultaneously the foremost leaders of the British and American Enlightenment. It then traces the implications of this religious Enlightenment dynamic, illuminating not only the ambitions of the Society’s leadership but also certain contours of intimate encounters between Native Americans, Native Christians and white missionaries. As the SSPCK’s missionary endeavours demonstrate, the relationship between evangelism and Enlightenment not only changed all individuals and institutions involved. It also transformed the very landscape of British Protestant religion. This assessment points to the overarching conclusion that the Enlightenment shaped the very foundation of modern missions. In the process, however, British Atlantic Protestants of many different varieties wove the discourse of the Enlightenment into the tapestry of their understanding of evangelism as a primary means of identity formation, both personally and institutionally. Historiographically, this research forces a reexamination of the nuances of the religious Enlightenment. It also problematizes the static (albeit dominant) interpretation of evangelicalism by observing its emergence in light of the broader conditions of British Atlantic Protestantism.

▼ This thesis will explore the complex relationship between Isaiah Berlin’s liberalism and his work in the history of ideas. While Berlin’s explicitly political thought reads like a scion of the Enlightenment, albeit with a pronounced Cold War inflection, his work in the history of ideas appears to indict the Age of Reason as partially responsible for the rise of totalitarianism. As a liberal thinker, therefore, Berlin seems Janus-faced. He appears to charge the Age of Reason with complicity in the rise of totalitarianism, yet continues to defend the most legitimate child of Enlightenment thought: liberalism in a negative form. As some of his critics have observed, notably Mark Lilla and Zeev Sternhell, Berlin seems intent on divorcing liberalism from the its foundation in the Enlightenment. This project, they are united in charging, is philosophically incoherent and politically ill-judged. The thesis will present an alternative reading of the relationship between Berlin’s liberalism and his intellectual history. Instead of interpreting Berlin’s turn to the Counter-Enlightenment as an assault on the Enlightenment and a blow against his own liberalism, his interpretation of the Counter-Enlightenment, especially the proto-fascist work of Joseph de Maistre, will be read as a search for a ‘lens’ with which to examine the nature of totalitarian thought. In this context, Berlin’s lengthy and neglected essay on Maistre is of greatest importance: the darkly prescient thought of the reactionary and ultramontane Savoyard – strikingly out of place in his own time, yet an intellectual contemporary of the twentieth century – provides an analytical ‘window’ onto the presuppositions and character of totalitarianism. Berlin’s turn away from the Age of Reason, therefore, is guided by an overarching methodological conviction: it is Maistre, rather than Voltaire, who is the better guide to the twentieth century’s most shockingly original contribution to political thought and practice, totalitarianism.

▼ This thesis examines the relationship between Scottish Enlightenment philosophy and Abolitionist activism. This work asserts that Scottish philosophers opposed legislative Abolition, and that Henry Dundas’s ‘gradual’ amendment to Wilberforce’s 1792 Slave Trade bill was partly motivated by fear of radical change. This amendment has been acknowledged by many as the reason the Slave Trade was allowed to continue, despite public disapprobation, until 1807. First, by examining the writings of those Scottish Enlightenment thinkers critical of slavery, this work demonstrates that their ideas were largely theoretical and lacked engagement with the problem of slavery in British society. Second, in examining why, when their writings against slavery have been so lauded, they made so little a direct contribution to the Abolitionist movement, this thesis explores the Scottish Enlightenment theory of spontaneous order in the generation of social institutions. Drawing upon the warnings of some of these Scottish literati, this thesis will argue that their belief in spontaneous order encouraged them to view any attempt at altering social structures (such as the Slave Trade) through legislation as dangerous innovations that should be opposed by enlightened thinkers and politicians. This thesis next examines the parliamentary debates surrounding the 1792 Abolition bill, highlighting the similarities between the Scottish Enlightenment polemic against radical change and the arguments of those opposing Wilberforce’s Slave Trade bill. MPs embraced Dundas’ gradual Abolition idea despite petitions in support of the original bill signed by their constituents, the views of whom were considered secondary to their own judgement on such matters. That the 1792 failure of Abolition was not due to a denial of the principle of ending slavery but a rejection of abrupt change demonstrates that the Scottish Enlightenment, through the agency of Dundas, encouraged delaying the abolition of the Slave Trade for fifteen years.

▼ John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity. From a review of the historical literature, this dissertation details six links that scholars have introduced in their study of Wesley’s relation to the Enlightenment. However, the review also reveals two problems, one obstacle and one omission, that hinder new innovation and further study. Therefore, as a solution, this study introduces five lenses adapted from the recent scholarship of four historians and one historical theologian that provide new vantage points for considering the enlightenment of Wesley and Wesleyan Methodists, which together form the Wesleyan Enlightenment. Finally, based on the evidence gathered by using these new lenses, this study argues that because Wesley not only engaged the Enlightenment, but also addressed the spiritual needs and practical concerns of Wesleyan Methodists for more than fifty years in what he referred to as an enlightened age, John Wesley was a central figure in the eighteenth-century English Enlightenment.

▼ The Government of the Senses is a study of how the changes in aesthetic culture that occurred in the wake of empiricism operated as regulating social processes. Tracking the rise of a new concern with tastefulness as well as various approaches to aesthetic detachment, I describe how these critical discourses translated into different styles of subjectification. Each chapter identifies figural representations in literature and visual culture that reflect what it felt like to participate in the new aesthetic culture. Chapter One describes the new interest in ideas of taste and “gust” in John Milton’s work and models of aesthetic detachment in John Dryden, showing how Lord Shaftesbury and Joseph Addison developed these models of aesthetic behavior into a comprehensive social program. Chapter Two argues for a continuity between the cultivation of pleasure in the Restoration libertine discourse of Lord Rochester and George Etherege and the eighteenth-century cultivation of aesthetic pleasures. I show the importance of the fop character type in the transition to socially acceptable enjoyments: at the center of ambivalence about cultural consumption, the fop is the first figure that condenses the experience of modern aesthetic subjectivity. Chapter Three follows the inner sense tradition, arguing that Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe narrates an aesthetic self-fashioning by testing the limits of detachment from social life. This wildly popular novel shows how culturally relevant the new aesthetic culture had become beyond the stratified elites. Chapter Four studies the emergence of a socially intelligible figure of the person of taste between Jonathan Richardson’s theory of connoisseurship and the major statements on the standard of taste in the 1750s. It shows that the methods, tensions, and models of authority associated with the new aesthetics were most fully exemplified in the literary career of Alexander Pope. Methodologically, this project studies the regulating effects of aesthetics using Michel Foucault’s late theory of “governmentality” and it describe aesthetics as a self-sustaining social process using the theory of Niklas Luhmann. The chapters also include discussions of the Cartesian theory of pleasure, Hobbesian psychology, the theory of the je ne sais quoi of Dominique Bouhours, the models of conduct in Baltasar Gracián and the Chevalier de Méré, John Locke on secondary qualities and self-education, inner sense theory in Ralph Cudworth and Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith on self-regulation, William Hogarth on utility, and the theories of taste in Edmund Burke, Alexander Gerard, and David Hume. I show that the first phase of modern British aesthetics fashioned a coherent model for the conduct of conduct using the intensities of the sensitive body.

▼ This thesis explores German efforts during 1754-1800 to curb the suffering and death from smallpox, known as the Würgengel (murdering angel) for carrying so many innocent young children to Heaven. It focusses on the period immediately before the introduction of the safer cowpox vaccination, when the highly controversial prophylactic, inoculation, was used in Germany. Inoculation entailed the insertion of a small amount of human smallpox matter into the skin to produce a usually mild smallpox disease that prevented more severe smallpox in future. As the epitome of the rationalist ideology that man should take control of his own destiny and as a novel example of disease prophylaxis, inoculation was closely aligned with the Enlightenment. This thesis shows that enlightened German princes, nobles, and high-profile women encouraged inoculation, yet the princes’ deliberate initiatives to spread inoculation in their territories generally failed and the university-educated cohort of German society drove the efforts to promote the advantages of inoculation and encourage its use, in the face of many obstacles. The intelligentsia which sought to promote behaviours consistent with enlightenment ideology played a prominent role in that regard. Not only as commentators and public officials but also as owners and editors of the new kinds of general journals, and as reviewers, they encouraged a positive public attitude to inoculation. Poets and writers played their part by turning fictional as well as real women who chose inoculation to save their beauty or children from smallpox into ‘inoculation heroines’. Like-minded university professors taught their students about inoculation, and doctors encouraged the practice by reporting inoculation successes and by teaching surgeons the procedures. Many pastors promoted inoculation in their sermons and in articles in various kinds of general journals, in some cases engaging in inoculation themselves. Yet, despite the encouragement to adopt inoculation and concerted efforts to dispel the doubts about it, for myriad different reasons inoculation failed to gain popularity, particularly among the non-elite. Reminders that isolation measures had banished bubonic plague in earlier times fuelled a wave of utopian optimism in the 1790s that a reintroduction of such measures and a united effort could actually eradicate smallpox in the coming century which was being spruiked as a new age of peace and prosperity. The unrealistic goal of eradicating smallpox, considering the lack of new tools, was largely inspired by the revolutionaries in France casting aside the aristocratic governing class in 1789, demonstrating that seemingly impossible dreams could be achieved by a unity of purpose. This thesis shows the various ways in which the Enlightenment and other social, cultural, and political influences which pervaded Germany during the 1754-1800 period jointly shaped the approaches to combating smallpox by inoculation and other measures at that time.

▼ This dissertation uncovers an Enlightenment that occurred in Britain between 1720 and 1740, from the collapse of the South Sea Bubble to the War of Jenkin's Ear. It challenges the idea of a generic Enlightenment as ideological bedrock to a generic modernity. The event I describe was an extended, society-wide response to a particular manifestation of modernity: to the problems and tensions of commercial growth, metropolitan life, and political emancipation. It was non-specific to elite philosophical texts. The argument is anchored around fears of disordered bodies and bodies-politic as they shaped public debates over topics as diverse as medicine, bridge-building, grain distribution, and foreign policy. The five chapters progressively trace the transmutation of these fears, as manufactured and manipulated by the participants in these debates, into recognizably enlightened sensibilities. Ideals of equity, balance, and restraint deepened in response to visions of the fragile interdependence between peoples, states, cities, and rivers. Three of the Enlightenment's most critical ideals ? activity, happiness, and a skeptical pursuit of certainty ? evolved and converged as the pressures of metropolitan life exacerbated fears of the spleen. Similar anxieties catalyzed the articulation of secular sensibilities of restraint, calibrated by notions of alienation, individualism, self-control, concealment, sociability, and venting. The last two chapters focus upon the 1730s ? a decade distinguished by an exceptionally vibrant political public sphere. An enlightened commercialism was culturally entrenched as Opposition propagandists distortedly exploited fears of weakness and enervation ? fears that were rooted in the very commercialism they were so aggressively propagandizing. An interest and investment in thinking ? perhaps the most prized of all Enlightenment ideals ? deepened as the skullduggery and sloganeering that surrounded the excise crisis of 1733 and anti-Spanish agitation of 1738-9 generated anxieties about the supposedly weak minds of the political public. Cultures of urban consumption amplified these anxieties and, as a consequence, deepened the investment. Collectively, these chapters recreate an Enlightenment composed of a cacophony of alternative voices, which, disturbed by the excesses of modernity, or the exploitation of political freedoms, rallied different forms of restoration, transformation, and regeneration.

▼ This dissertation explores the conception of Jewish practice developed in the writings of Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786). Although this eighteenth-century figure is often described as the "founder" of modern Jewish thought and as a leading philosopher of the late Enlightenment, considerable uncertainty continues to surround basic questions relating to his work. Such uncertainty is especially pronounced with respect to his treatment of Jewish practice, with influential readers expressing confusion regarding, and even doubting the possibility of reconstructing, the details of his views on Jewish law. Against this backdrop, I propose a new reading of Mendelssohn's work, arguing that we can better grasp his approach to Jewish practice if we attend to his conception of history – to his views on historical change and historical knowledge. More specifically, drawing on his well-known German writings, on his little-known Hebrew works, and on neglected developments in early modern thought, I argue that we should read Mendelssohn's conception of Jewish practice as a response to his views on the nature of history, and that such a reading can contribute to ongoing conversations about modernity and religion. One of Mendelssohn's central goals, I show, is to develop an account of Jewish practice capable of addressing perils grounded in history. His treatment of Jewish practice is animated by an effort to address an epistemological danger grounded in philosophical history, an ethico-political danger grounded in social history, and a textual danger grounded in the study of history – the danger that we will distort our religious beliefs as we confront the rise and fall of philosophical systems, the danger that a society will evolve in ways that threaten human flourishing and political harmony, and the danger that developments in biblical scholarship will undermine belief in the scriptural basis of Jewish law. Moreover, I suggest, this reading not only offers a new understanding of a foundational figure in modern Judaism, but also contributes to broader conversations in a variety of fields – to discussions in the study of history about the emergence of Jewish modernity, and to debates in contemporary religious thought about practice, tradition, and social life.

▼ In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the European study of Arabic and of Islamic intellectual traditions transformed, with important consequences. For the first time, European scholars accurately translated the Qur'an, other religious writings, and ancient Arabic poetry. They also used native sources to study Islamic history. At the same time, many European writers, both Catholic and Protestant, developed a newly sympathetic view of Islam, portraying it as a plausible set of beliefs with many similarities to Christianity. To justify their newfound interest in Islam, they re-categorized Muslims from "heretics" to something akin to "good pagans," comparing them to the non-Christian thinkers of the Western tradition. At this time, Europeans relied upon Muslim commentaries to understand Arabic books, absorbing native interpretations. Drawing on research in seven countries and six languages, this thesis explains how Europeans came to understand Islamic letters at a time of intensified exchange between Europeans and Muslim peoples. It combines fine-grained analysis of individual episodes with attention to the period's broader intellectual transformations. "Islamic Letters in the European Enlightenment" identifies a distinctive epoch in Western views of Islam: a window of intensive scholarly engagement and greater sympathy that lasted from the final third of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. The knowledge elaborated in this era did not prevent a turn to a disparaging view of Islam and its peoples in the second half of the eighteenth century; on the contrary, even Arabic scholars of that period came to share it. Perhaps for this reason, the intellectual history reconstructed here has suffered neglect. Yet the fruits of the labors reconstructed here informed Western views of Islam and its traditions into the twentieth century. The chapters examine in succession: the collection of Islamic manuscripts; the first European "encyclopaedia" of Islamic letters, by Barthélemy d'Herbelot; the sympathetic reinterpretation of Islam in the early Enlightenment; the the Qur'an translations of Ludovico Marracci and George Sale; the first translations of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry; the place of Islamic civilization in Enlightenment views of world history; and the role of Arabic scholarship in the conquest of Egypt in 1798.

▼ The thesis explores the history of the Scottish Enlightenment in its transatlantic context and, in particular, the diffusion of Scottish Enlightenment moral philosophy in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Scotland and the United States. This project is the first full-scale attempt to examine the tensions between late eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment intellectual culture and counter-Enlightenment interests in the Atlantic World. My comparative study focuses on two of the most influential university educators in Scotland and the newly-founded United States. These are Dugald Stewart at the University of Edinburgh and Samuel Stanhope Smith at the College of New Jersey (which later became Princeton University). Stewart and Smith are ideal for a transatlantic comparative project of this kind, because of their close parallels as moral philosophy professors at the University of Edinburgh (1785-1810) and the College of New Jersey (1779-1812) respectively; their conflicts with ecclesiastical factions and counter-Enlightenment policies in the first decade of the nineteenth century; and finally their uses and adaptations of Scottish Enlightenment moral philosophy. The broader question I address is how the diffusion and fate of Scottish Enlightenment moral thought was affected by the different institutional and, above all, religious contexts in which it was taught. Dugald Stewart’s and Stanhope Smith’s interpretations of central philosophical themes reflected their desire to improve the state of society by educating enlightened and virtuous young men who would later enter careers in public life. In doing so, their teaching of natural religion and metaphysics brought them into conflict with religious factions, namely American religious revivalists on Princeton’s Board of Trustees and members of the Scottish ecclesiastical Moderate party, who believed that revealed religion should provide the foundation of education. The controversies that emerged from these tensions did not develop in an intellectual vacuum. My research illustrates how the American and Scottish reception of the French Revolution; the 1793-1802 Scottish Sedition Trials; Scottish and American ‘polite’ culture; Scottish secular and ecclesiastical politics; American Federalist and Republican political debates; American student riots between 1800 and 1807; and American religious revivalism affected Smith’s and Stewart’s programmes of moral education. While I identify this project as an example of cultural and intellectual history, it also advances interests in the history of education, ecclesiastical history, transnational history, and comparative history. The thesis has two main parts. The first consists of three chapters on Dugald Stewart’s system of moral education: the circumstances in which Stewart developed his moral education as a modern version of Thomas Reid’s so-called Common Sense philosophy, Stewart’s applied ethics, and finally, his defence of the Scottish Enlightenment in the context of the 1805 John Leslie case.

Filozofija - Moderna filozofija / Philosophy - Modern philosophy

Moglo bi se reći da je prosvetiteljstvo (prosvećenost), već od svojih modernih početaka pa sve do savremenih rasprava o njegovom značaju, u hroničnoj nedoumici oko vlastitog odreĎenja i razumevanja. Namera ovog rada je da, pre svega, rasvetli podležeće i produktivne aspekte upotrebe tog naizgled samorazumljivog, a često do nerazabirljivosti višesmislenog pojma. To će se postići detekcijom smeštanja, izmeštanja i premeštanja težišta njegovog značenja i dejstva kod različitih autora koji su ga tematizovali od osamnaestog veka do danas. Kantova definicija prosvećenosti iz njegovog članka „Odgovor na pitanje: šta je prosvećenost?“ poslužiće pritom kao osnovni talon na kojem će se iskušavati vizije prosvetiteljstva. Čini se da se ona pokazala onom nezaobilaznom instancom s obzorom na koju se – priznanjem njene neprolazne merodavnosti, preadaptacijom ili osporavanjem – i dalje artikulišu ili makar prikladno prireĎuju i od nje drugačije koncepcije prosvetiteljstva. Pošto se u uvodnom delu rada zadržimo na dilemama odreĎenja sadržaja termina „prosvetiteljstvo“, drugi deo bi se posvetio izlaganju osnovnih pojmova, slika i metafora Kantovog razumevanja prosvećenosti i ukazivanju na njihov prijem i preradu. Središnji deo rada bi se sastojao iz tri osnovna odeljka. U prvom bi se izložile reakcije predstavnika onog konkurentskog, najšire shvaćeno „romantičkog“ programa emancipacije, koji se nekada činio radikalizacijom a nekada napuštanjem prosvetiteljskih ideala individualne slobode, autonomije i dostojanstva. Drugi odreljak bi se pozabavio konzervativnim osporavanjem i „kontekstualističkom“ kritikom prosvetiteljskog „projekta“, a treći njegovim klasičnim i revidiranim odbranama. U završnom delu rada izložiće se anatomija recentnih odbacivanja „ideologije“ prosvetiteljstva i njegove apologije na tragu komunikativno preorijentisanog izvornog programa. Verujemo da se ovakvim predstavljanjem ne samo punktiraju tačke spora koje obeležavaju nastupanje istorijske formacije filozofije prosvetiteljstva, već se ukazuje i na produktivnost novih konceptualizacija i obrada ideja prosvećenosti s obzirom na aktuelne izazove. Već preglednost takvog mapiranja bi se mogla smatrati dovoljnim rezultatom rasprave ali bi se, i preko toga, simptomatski signalizirala uvek iznova intonirana presudnost onih odgovora na pitanje o prosvećenosti koji već više od dva veka orijentišu i obrazuju diskurzivne i političke strategije moderne. Autor sugeriše i celinom rada nastoji da ilustruje uputnost jednog minimalnog i negativnog poimanja prosvetiteljstva koje bi u najvećoj meri poštovalo širinu hermeneutičkog zahteva njegovog istorijskog razumevanja i istovremeno omogućilo produktivno promišljanje aporija njegovog ovovremenog reinstaliranja.

▼ Although Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry, Pierre de Sales Laterrière, Pierre-Jean de Sales Laterrière, and Alexis de Tocqueville were all observers of Canada, their views of Quebec differ greatly one from another because they were from different generations. D’Iberville (1661 – 1706), Quebec’s first national hero, lived during the age of classicism, the reign of Louis XIV and the absolute monarchy. He provides a politico-military perspective of Quebec. Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry (1682 – 1751), Quebec’s chief military engineer and architect, lived and worked in Quebec during a time of transition between the absolute monarchy and the Enlightenment. He provides an esthetic perspective of Quebec. Pierre de Sales Laterrière [1743?(47) – 1815], Quebec’s first memorialist, landed on the shores of the St. Lawrence in 1766 when the Enlightenment was in full bloom. He provides a scientific/literary perspective of Quebec. His son, Pierre-Jean de Sales Laterrière (1789 – 1834), wrote the first treatise that defended French Canadians under British control and domination. His life also encompassed the Romantic Movement in all its glory. He provides a politico-sociological perspective of Quebec. Finally, Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 – 1859) traveled through Quebec in 1831. Tocqueville’s view of Quebec was shaped by Romanticism, as well as by the political turmoil which was occurring in his native France. He provides a socio-political perspective of Quebec. Each individual featured in this dissertation was an initiator of or a principle contributor to major discourses in Quebec’s imaginary. This dissertation evaluates the perspectives of these writers through a careful analysis of selected major writings about Quebec. Included are historical documents that were not originally intended to be literature according to the classic definition of the term. Yet these documents bear the mark of the conceptual framework in which they were written, even as does the literature of a given era. This demonstrates that these historical documents provide us with different views of Quebec which mirror not only these individuals’ life experiences, but which also reflect their participation in the dominant literary, philosophical or historical movements in existence at the time that they lived: Absolutism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism.

▼ Taking " care of the self " as a value, it is a principle, and a principle of principle that a person first need to be sure in facing his world. Through it, a person can identify and construct him-/herself, as well as a variety of special transcendence and inherent relationship between his/her own and the world with others. In other words, " care of the self " is both internal and beyond of his/her own, in a position of truth and a requirements of power. Further, It is also related to a personal's âlookâ in some way. Theâlookâ in âpersentâ is not only a form where the subject worries about him-/herself, but also an object change for the subject's care. Secondly, it also requires a series of interventive acts related to a man's physical. That is to say, in order to achieve and complete his own, the transcendence position of truth and the immanence demand of pow6er must often be done through some physical practices and ascesis of will. My main intention and work in this article is: through exploration and understanding the basic structure of " care of the self ", I want to analyze the relationship of "subject and power" and "subject and truth", so as to grasp power and truth (knowledge) in the self-deconstruction and the self-construction process of subject, inquiring what roles power and truth plays and effects . As the same time, I want to provide a possible solution in two issues that relate to reality situation of an individual life. First, there are some issue about the boundary of âsubject's lookâ âwhat factors constitute âsubject's lookâ and where are its boundaries? How can the subject cross the âsubjectâs lookâsâ boundary? And what are the possibilities and condition for its own boundary crossing? Secondly, it is related to man's revolt.Which means the following qjeation, how can the subject escape dispositif of power in his/her own, thus opening the possibility of liberation for his/her own physical,will and thought?

▼ Important tenets of Enlightenment thought, specifically natural theology and philosophical naturalism, mark both the libretto and certain aspects of the music of Haydn's Creation. The opening chapters of the dissertation establish the philosophical, historical, literary, and musical milieu as shaped by leading thinkers of the period. Influences of important precursors are discussed, including Milton's Paradise Lost and earlier "creation" oratorios. The libretto of Creation, through its revisionist treatment of the biblical account of creation, reflects a shift from the orthodox Christian, apologetic perspective of Handelian oratorio toward a deistic representation of biblical truth. Paralleling this shift away from theological orthodoxy is The Creation's departure from the contrapuntal textures of Baroque oratorio – associated by James Webster and Hermann Danuser with the element of the musical "sublime" – to a pluralistic musical palette including elements from secular genres such as opera and symphony. These parallel shifts move the work toward naturalism. The Creation's ultimate message is one of Enlightenment optimism produced by the oratorio's religious tolerance – demonstrated by the omission of the Fall narrative – and musical eclecticism. Musical inclusivity is conveyed by a mixture of styles and conventions that cross normative standards for setting sacred texts. The analysis of text-music relationships in Creation builds on theoretical constructs of Danuser and Kramer, focusing on smaller- to larger-level musical sections that demonstrate the contrast in style and values represented by the sublime and idyllic. Both texts and music of The Creation elevate values of naturalism while simultaneously "rescinding" the sublime element into the beautiful or "idyllic." Concluding chapters focus on reception history of The Creation in both Austria and England, Haydn's two target audiences for the work. Advisors/Committee Members: Bolton, Thomas W (advisor).

▼ This study investigates the eighteenth-century obsession for happiness. After an introductory Hoofdstuk, in which I discuss the questions addressed in this study, and give a general survey of European thought on happiness, a historiographical overview, a sketch of Enlightenment-historiography, a section on sources and method and a short introduction on the concept of happiness respectively, the most important powers behind the debate on happiness are discussed in a second preparatory Hoofdstuk. By way of hypotheses, I argue that it was a combination of changes within the material, the intellectual and the communicational culture, which was responsible for the rise of the Enlightenment debate on happiness. The first part of this study examines the existing traditions within this debate. Happiness was in itself not a new subject and writers could elaborate on both the classical and the Christian traditions. These traditions, however, were not static and subject to several changes. For instance, the classical notion that virtue equates to happiness, became an eighteenth-century commonplace. Between 1750 and 1780, this was the most dominant concept of happiness. In addition, many in the eighteenth-century came to see Christianity as a means to establish happiness on earth, changing meanwhile the Christian outlook from a vertical to a horizontal perspective. The third generally held opinion that happiness was to be found in contentment was embedded in both the Christian and the classical traditions. Towards the end of the eighteenth century this view was intertwined with the new cult of domesticity. Writers from the period of the Enlightenment also added new elements to the debate on happiness. These new departures are discussed in the second part of this study. Testimony for these new developments was, amongst others, the rise of a so-called science of happiness. By analogy to the natural sciences, eighteenth-century writers came to the belief that a science of happiness was possible too. The same laws that governed nature were believed to rule human behavior as well. Once these laws behind human behavior had been unveiled, nothing could obstruct happiness on earth. A second new trend was the increasing interest in the social and personal aspects of happiness. This focus on the social and the personal was connected to a growing interest in the mechanics of civil society. Especially from 1750 onwards, these social and personal aspects came to play a more important role in the debate on happiness. After 1780 the focus on the social and personal gained more momentum and a more modern view of happiness became fashionable.

▼ This dissertation sets out to rethink, contextualise and historicise a commonplace notion in the Scottish Enlightenment which poses nations and societies as either improving or primitive. The Scottish Enlightenment philosophers were the eighteenth-century pioneers in an intellectual project of improvement pointing the light emerging in Europe, particularly in Britain. The Act of Union with Scotland (1707) and the process of modernisation in the Highlands of Scotland allowed for rhetoric of improvement which called upon Scotland with its Highlands to join the great British modernising project. The Scots literati were aware that joining this project jeopardises older cultural habits and values and also brings corruption into society but the other option was nothing but the dilemma of living in premodern, less commercially advanced age, one which, as they thought, prevailed in Arabian deserts and Islamic societies. Their rhetoric of improvement was one of difference between an improving Britain with technological and commercial progress and a backward Middle East with primitive modes of subsistence. For them, modernity did not cast its light on the eighteenth-century Middle East. They fixed Middle East on a lower stage of a universal grid of progress. In the cross-cultural encounters between Britons and Muslims which took place on the Syrian-Mesopotamia overland routes to India, as this dissertation argues, the polarising rhetoric of the Scottish Enlightenment proves to be one of conviction. It was not necessarily the only way of referring to the modern moment of change taking place in Britain. The four British writers which this dissertation examines were interested in the Enlightenment question of improvement. They were believers in progress but had their own doubts about the dominant notions in the habit of interpreting improvement in their own culture. By writing on material progress, commerce, manners and forms of morality which they encountered in Islamic lands they set out to offer their new understanding of the notion of progress. While doing so, they did not posit Islam and the Middle East as the fixed categories of backwardness the Scots literati had always celebrated in their defence of modern British commercial improvement. Rather they showed how Europeans can learn things and improve themselves by interacting with Muslims: caravan chiefs and merchants, political leaders and servants. All these cross-cultural scenes of interaction in which Britons gained improvement occurred in a period in which Britain was not a colonial power in the Middle East but rather a commercial and political partner with local Arabian and Muslim leaders. And writing about Islamic cultures, as this thesis demonstrates, was a way of rethinking British dominant views of the meaning of improvement in the modern age.

▼ This dissertation argues that eighteenth-century literature is shaped by the modern encounter with-and transformation of-enthusiasm. By examining the rhetorical paradigms of invocation in the eighteenth century, this approach redefines the relationship of secularization to literary history and casts new light on the assumption that the Enlightenment represents a straightforward movement toward secularization. Literary critics have long agreed that the political and religious turmoil of the seventeenth century set the stage for widespread critiques of enthusiasm in the early eighteenth century. But early eighteenth-century literature did not simply reject enthusiastic expression; rather, this period saw a secularization of enthusiasm-a change that arose as a need to preserve inspiration's instrumental relationship to artistic production. The inception of this secularization is linked to the rise of aesthetic philosophy and to modernity's shifting relationship to the public sphere. The anxieties about enthusiasm in the Restoration period cause Augustan authors to reconsider the role of inspiration in modern writing and to reform enthusiasm through innovations in genre. These evocations of inspiration both exhibit an aestheticization of a theological category and import the affective fervor of an ancient theological practice into their modern redactions. This dissertation examines rhetorical paradigms of invocation in the works of Milton, Shaftesbury, Pope, and Fielding. These writers formally revise enthusiasm in a way that generates a new and distinctive representation of the author, in a process that relies on a rhetorical device that reformulates the passive structure of ancient invocation by subjecting it to the more dialogical methods of modern apostrophe and address. Incorporating invocation into their experiments in genre, these authors allow the figure of the muse to survive, but she is now construed as something secular, an apostrophe to a friend or judging spectator, or at times an allusion to the mental or aesthetic faculties of the author himself-his genius. This dissertation, therefore, argues that secularization impacts literary form long before the Romantic period and that secularization, in its relationship to aesthetic form and experience, is not merely an effect of Enlightenment rationality.
