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 Pasquiers conception of cultural taxonomy, to Michel de Montaignes notion of moral morphology, to René Descartess 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.
