Erasmus on Women PDF
By:Desiderius Erasmus
Published on 1996 by University of Toronto Press


In his writings Erasmus was more interested in arguing than in settling a case. However the equivocation we find in his writings is more than a literary game or a technical expedient. It is the corollary of his scepticism. One can hardly expect unequivocal statements on complex issues such as the role of women in society from a man who holds that `human affairs take so many shapes that definite answers cannot be provided for them all.' But as Erika Rummel demonstrates, the difficulties of interpreting Erasmus' texts do not invalidate their use as sources of social history; they only prevent us from ascribing the views expressed specifically to Erasmus. What emerges from the text is a composite picture of women's role in society, reflecting a spectrum of views held in Erasmus' time rather than a coherent set of views advocated by him personally. Erasmus on Women offers selections from Erasmus' manuals on marriage and widowhood, his rhetorical treatises, and the Colloquies. The texts deal with the courtship, marriage, child-rearing, and widowhood. Selections treating particular topics, such as prostitution, scholarship, and activism, are placed within the context in which they are discussed by Erasmus. Erasmus' dialogues present a lively cast of virgins and mothers, housewives and harlots, shrews and activists. The fifteen texts and excerpts offered here represent a mixture of traditional and progressive thought. Along the traditional lines, he commends women for their role as caregivers and for their service to God and society. In contrast, he holds progressive views (by the standards of his time) on the education of women and breaks with tradition by challenging the idea that celibacy is superior to the married state. Erasmus' views were radical for his time and frequently involved him in controversy. Lavishly praised by some, his writings were bitterly denounced by others. Yet the wide dissemination of his writings makes him an important commentator and influence on the social thought of the sixteenth century.

Le livre érotique PDF By:Olivier Bessard-Banquy Published on 2010 by Presses Univ de Bordeaux Le livre érotique est une vieille tradition française. Contre l'acharnement des censeurs, en profitant parfois de la tolérance des pouvoirs affaiblis, les auteurs lestes ont cherché à livrer au public le récit des pires turpitudes par goût des obscénités ou de la bravade, pour affirmer la poussée du moi, la volonté de briser les fers de la vieille société, sinon pour moquer les ridicules prescriptions de la morale. L'époque du libertinage aura été la grande époque du livre lubrique, l'apogée de la littérature galante, mais le XIXe siècle et l'entrée dans le noir des conventions bourgeoises n'ont pas tué la flamme des écrits graveleux, loin s'en faut : jusque sous les rigueurs du moralisme le plus tatillon a survécu un véritable roman poivré, inventif et téméraire. Comment cette histoire du livre érotique a-t-elle été possible ? A quelles contorsions les éditeurs galants...

L’érotisme divinisé – Le temple hindou PDF By:Alain Daniélou Published on 2017-02-15T00:00:00+01:00 by ASIEUR Alain Daniélou et le photographe suisse Raymond Burnier ont fait de longs séjours d’étude aux sanctuaires de Khajuraho, de Bhuvaneshvar, de Konarak, mais aussi dans de nombreux sites moins connus de l'Inde centrale et du Rajputana. Ils en ont ramené une documentation iconographique exceptionnelle de plus de 7000 négatifs photographiques. Ce sont ces photographies qui illustrent L’érotisme divinisé et Le temple hindou dans lequel Alain Daniélou ouvre les lecteurs à la métaphysique de l’érotisme tel qu’il est vécu et représenté dans l’art et la littérature sacrés de l’Inde, pour ensuite les emmener à pénétrer la dimension cosmogonique, symbolique et mystique de l’univers architectural et sculptural des temples hindous, et à écouter les dieux qui peuplent ces temples élevés à leur gloire et à leurs amours.

Download Is God Green? PDF Free

Is God Green? PDF By:Marina Sophia Psaros Published on 2006 by In recent months, evangelical environmentalism has been the subject of much media coverage and debate. The central questions are whether evangelical environmentalists could be potential allies for the mainstream environmental movement, and what impact pro-environment evangelicals might have on politics. I argue that evangelical environmentalists do not seek alliances with the mainstream environmental movement because the perception in the wider evangelical community is that environmentalism is liberal and un-Christian. This perception is the result of a confluence of theological, political, and cultural developments that have taken place over the past 30 years. As a result, the leaders of evangelical environmentalism do not want to risk forming coalitions with civic or political groups that would alienate members of their own political and religious communities. Instead, they work from within their own religious community t...
