With a comparative study as its point of departure, this book uses a clinical and therapeutic model in order to analyze Montaigne’s and Descartes’s thoughts on sin. This reveals the beginning of a process of secularization that sees Christianity reintegrated into new moral thinking.
- By (author) Jil Muller
Review - French Les pensees de Michel de Montaigne et de Rene Descartes sur le peche offrent des reponses alternatives a ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui l'anthropologie negative qui caracterise l'Occident chretien a la Renaissance. Comblant un manque dans la tradition critique, cette etude du concept de peche et de ses correlats suit un schema clinique et therapeutique en analysant ce mal, mais aussi ses symptomes, ses causes et ses traitements. Se devoile alors un processus de secularisation qui marque l'avenement des Temps modernes, car chez Montaigne et Descartes, la religion chretienne est reintegree dans une nouvelle pensee morale.
