Zustand: Gut. XV, 170 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Compulsive list-making is one of the strangest characteristics of sixteenthcentury culture. In On the Threshold of Modernity, Zachary Schiffman reveals this quality as a response to the experience of historical and cultural relativism, an experience fostered by humanist philology and legal scholarship in Renaissance France. In contrast to the prevailing scholarly view, which traces modern historical thought back to sixteenth-century relativism, Schiffman shows how the experience of relativism encouraged not a historical but a classificatory view of the world, of which compulsive list-making was but one aspect. -- Schiffman describes how the experience of relativism was intensely problematic for sixteenth-century Frenchmen, who were accustomed to understanding the world in terms of universal norms. The weakening of these norms, by posing the threat of conceptual confusion, inspired a search for underlying structures of order. These structures reveal the enduring hold of a classificatory mentality that derived from the traditional Aristotelian way of thinking. -- Through a careful analysis of a wide range of historical, literary, and philosophical works, Schiffman traces the fate of the classificatory response to the problem of relativism, from Estienne Pasquier s conception of cultural taxonomy, to Michel de Montaigne s notion of moral morphology, to René Descartes s idea of serial reasoning. In his exploration of these and other figures, Schiffman demonstrates that the French pursued the problem of relativism into an intellectual cul-de-sac from which there would be no exit until the eighteenth century, when Giambattista Vico discovered the principles of modern historical consciousness.

Zustand: Gut. XVI, 316 Seiten / p., Beilage. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Beilage / supplement: Notizblatt und Rezension / review - How did people learn to distinguish between past and present? How did they come to see the past as existing in its own distinctive context? Zachary Sayre Schiffman explores these questions in his sweeping survey of historical thinking in the Western world. -- Today we automatically distinguish between past and present, labeling things that appear out of place as "anachronisms." Schiffman shows how this tendency did not always exist and how the past as such was born of a perceived difference between past and present. -- Schiffman takes readers on a grand tour of historical thinking from antiquity to modernity. He shows how ancient historians could not distinguish between past and present because they conceived of multiple pasts. Christian theologians coalesced these multiple pasts into a single temporal space where past merged with present and future. Renaissance humanists began to disentangle these temporal states in their desire to resurrect classical culture, creating a "living past." French enlighteners killed off this living past when they engendered a form of social scientific thinking that measured the relations between historical entities, thus sustaining the distance between past and present and relegating each culture to its own distinctive context. -- Featuring a foreword by the eminent historian Anthony Grafton, this fascinating book draws upon a diverse range of sources - ancient histories, medieval theology, Renaissance art, literature, legal thought, and early modern mathematics and social science - to uncover the meaning of the past and its relationship to the present.
