Quand donc quitterons-nous cette idée que la mort est plus importante que la vie, et le malheur plus grand que le bonheur ? Maurice Maeterlinck, prix Nobel de Littérature, avec son style si particulier nous invite à la réflexion sur la notion de sagesse ainsi que sur la destinée et plus en avant, il nous interroge sur la mort et l'infini.La sagesse et la connaissance de soi peuvent-elles permettre à l'homme d'influencer sa propre destinée ? Quelle est la place du destin sur le chemin de la sagesse ?Ses réflexions philosophiques sauront faire naître en vous de nombreux questionnements et vous accompagneront dans votre développement personnel.EXTRAIT: N'oublions pas que rien ne nous arrive qui ne soit de la même nature que nous-mêmes. Toute aventure qui se présente, se présente à notre âme sous la forme de nos pensées habituelles, et aucune occasion héroïque ne s'est jamais offerte à celui qui n'était pas un héros silencieux et obscur depuis un grand nombre d'années. Gravissez la montagne ou descendez dans le village, allez au bout du monde ou bien promenez-vous autour de la maison, vous ne rencontrerez que vous-même sur les routes du hasard. Si Judas sort ce soir, il ira vers Judas et aura l'occasion de trahir, mais si Socrate ouvre sa porte, il trouvera Socrate endormi sur le seuil et aura l'occasion d'être sage. Nos aventures errent autour de nous comme les abeilles sur le point d'essaimer errent autour de la ruche. Elles attendent que l'idée-mère sorte enfin de notre âme; et quand elle est sortie, elles s'agglomèrent autour d'elle. Mentez, et les mensonges accourront; aimez, et la grappe d'aventures frissonnera d'amour. Il semble que tout n'attende qu'un signal intérieur, et si notre âme devient plus sage vers le soir, le malheur aposté par elle-même le matin devient plus sage aussi. Il est sage celui qui a pris l'habitude de ne plus voir en sa souffrance que la lumière qu'elle répand en son coeur et qui ne regarde jamais l'ombre qu'elle étend sur ceux qui l'ont fait naître. Il est plus sage encore celui en qui les joies et les douleurs n'augmentent pas seulement la conscience, mais font voir en même temps qu'il y a quelque chose de supérieur à la conscience même. C'est ici qu'on atteint les sommets de la vie intérieure, sommets d'où l'on domine enfin les flammes qui l'éclairent. Mais c'est la part du petit nombre, et l'on peut vivre heureux dans les vallées moins ardentes où s'agitent les racines assombries de ces flammes.

From 1400 through 1700, the number of reports of demonic possessions among European women was extraordinarily high. During the same period, a new type of mysticism—popular with women—emerged that greatly affected the risk of possession and, as a result, the practice of exorcism. Many feared that in moments of rapture, women, who had surrendered their souls to divine love, were not experiencing the work of angels, but rather the ravages of demons in disguise. So how then, asks Moshe Sluhovsky, were practitioners of exorcism to distinguish demonic from divine possessions? Drawing on unexplored accounts of mystical schools and spiritual techniques, testimonies of the possessed, and exorcism manuals, Believe Not Every Spirit examines how early modern Europeans dealt with this dilemma. The personal experiences of practitioners, Sluhovsky shows, trumped theological knowledge. Worried that this could lead to a rejection of Catholic rituals, the church reshaped the meaning and practices of exorcism, transforming this healing rite into a means of spiritual interrogation. In its efforts to distinguish between good and evil, the church developed important new explanatory frameworks for the relations between body and soul, interiority and exteriority, and the natural and supernatural.

For many generations, Guy Fawkes and his gunpowder plot, the 'Man in the Iron Mask' and the 'Devils of Loudun' have offered some of the most compelling images of the early modern period. Conspiracies, real or imagined, were an essential feature of early modern life, offering a seemingly rational and convincing explanation for patterns of political and social behaviour. This volume examines conspiracies and conspiracy theory from a broad historical and interdisciplinary perspective, by combining the theoretical approach of the history of ideas with specific examples from the period. Each contribution addresses a number of common themes, such as the popularity of conspiracy theory as a mode of explanation through a series of original case studies. Individual chapters examine, for example, why witches, religious minorities and other groups were perceived in conspiratorial terms, and how far, if at all, these attitudes were challenged or redefined by the Enlightenment. Cultural influences on conspiracy theory are also discussed, particularly in those chapters dealing with the relationship between literature and politics. As prevailing notions of royal sovereignty equated open opposition with treason, almost any political activity had to be clandestine in nature, and conspiracy theory was central to interpretations of early modern politics. Factions and cabals abounded in European courts as a result, and their actions were frequently interpreted in conspiratorial terms. By the late eighteenth century it seemed as if this had begun to change, and in Britain in particular the notion of a 'loyal opposition' had begun to take shape. Yet the outbreak of the French Revolution was frequently explained in conspiratorial terms, and subsequently European rulers and their subjects remained obsessed with conspiracies both real and imagined. This volume helps us to understand why.

Available for the first time in English, these thirteen selections from André Thevet’s Les vrais pourtraits et vies des hommes illustres offer a glimpse of France during a time of great upheaval. Originally published in 1584, Thevet’s collection contains over two hundred biographical sketches, detailing the lives of important persons from antiquity to the sixteenth century. Edward Benson and Roger Schlesinger have translated and annotated Thevet’s portraits of his contemporaries, and divided them into three categories: monarchs, aristocrats, and scholars. Additionally, an extensive introduction places the work in context and describes the critical attention that Thevet and his writings have received. Together these portraits provide a history of sixteenth-century France as the country underwent tremendous change: from an intellectual renaissance and its first encounter with the New World to the Protestant Reformation and the Wars of Religion that followed. France was irrevocably altered by these events and Thevet’s account of the lives of individuals who struggled with them is indispensable.

In a book addressing those interested in the transformation of monarchy into the modern state and in intersections of gender and political power, Katherine Crawford examines the roles of female regents in early modern France. The reigns of child kings loosened the normative structure in which adult males headed the body politic, setting the stage for innovative claims to authority made on gendered terms. When assuming the regency, Catherine de Medicis presented herself as dutiful mother, devoted widow, and benign peacemaker, masking her political power. In subsequent regencies, Marie de Medicis and Anne of Austria developed strategies that naturalized a regendering of political structures. They succeeded so thoroughly that Philippe d'Orleans found that this rhetoric at first supported but ultimately undermined his authority. Regencies demonstrated that power did not necessarily work from the places, bodies, or genders in which it was presumed to reside. While broadening the terms of monarchy, regencies involving complex negotiations among child kings, queen mothers, and royal uncles made clear that the state continued regardless of the king--a point not lost on the Revolutionaries or irrelevant to the fate of Marie-Antoinette.
