Representations of Ancient Cynicism in French Texts, 1546-1615 Representations of Ancient Cynicism in French Texts, 1546-1615 Hugh Gerald Arthur Roberts Thesis Submitted for Examination for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Oxford Brookes University September 2003 ii ABSTRACT Representations of Ancient Cynicism in French Texts, 1546-1615 This thesis traces prima facie references to ancient Cynicism in a wide range of French texts from the mid-sixteenth to the early-seventeenth century. Cynicism, a popular philosophical movement in antiquity, was transmitted through a diverse tradition of sayings and anecdotes. The tradition presents the Cynics, and particularly Diogenes of Sinope, turning their lives into humorous and scandalous philosophical performances. By focusing on prima facie representations of Cynicism, I show how early modern writers understood and used Cynic performance for their own purposes. Part I of the thesis is devoted to early modern repositories of Cynicism. I establish the nature and availability of ancient and Medieval sources, and how they are used in neo-Latin and vernacular collections of sayings, miscellanies and encyclopedias. Adaptation and invention of Cynic sayings in collections show how the Cynic tradition encourages improvisation. The discursive treatment of miscellanies illustrates the diverse associations of Cynicism, from idealized, Christian portrayals to titillating discussion of Cynic public sex. Part II concentrates on more developed and playful use of Cynicism. Rabelais uses Cynicism, notably in the prologue of the Tiers Livre, to identify his work with carnival, and to raise the question of the writer's role in society. Paradoxes exploit Cynic performance, which is eminently paradoxical and thereby serves to reveal the scope of early modern paradoxes. The key Cynic practices of shamelessness and freedom of speech are used by early modern authors to raise shocking questions about morality and the body, and to articulate opposition to the status quo. Cynicism stands for a radically free and humorous way of life, which is used by early modern writers to raise strange ideas in seriocomic ways. This thesis fills a gap in intellectual and literary history by providing readings of a large number of little-known texts which allow for new perspectives upon canonical works. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis was made possible by the award of a PhD bursary by the School of Languages, now Department of Modern Languages, School of Arts and Humanities, Oxford Brookes University. My work was supervised by Valerie Worth-Stylianou. I am grateful for her constant advice, enthusiasm and encouragement. I also thank Mark Bannister, my second supervisor, for his suppor and for his comments on my work. I did preliminary work on the subject of this thesis for a Master of Studies at the University of Oxford. I owe a particular debt to my then supervisor, Carol Clark, for suggesting that I should work on Diogenes. I also wish to acknowledge the comments and advice of Robert Weninger, Andrew Petiprin and Agnieszka Steczowicz, on parts of my research. I would like to thank both Tim Chesters and Emma Herdman for informing me of important references to Diogenes. I am also grateful to Virginie le Torrec for having braved the Bibliotheque Nationale to procure me some emblems. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the help of Anthony Roberts (my father). Unless otherise stated, all translations from Latin are his. I am very grateful for his equanimity, hard work and good humour when faced with lengthy tales of Diogenes rolling his barrel, and behaving disreputably in public. 1 Chapter One Introduction Chaque siècle, et le nOtre surtout, auraient besoin d'un Diogene; mais la difficulte est de trouver des hommes qui aient le courage de l'ëtre, et des hornmes qui aient le courage de le souffrir. D'Alembert, Essai sur la societè des gens de lettres (1759) The ancient Cynics have been enduringly provocative figures from antiquity to the present day. Writers as diverse as Lucian, Diderot and Nietzsche, as well as Erasmus, Rabelais and Montaigne, have all been inspired by aspects of ancient Cynicism. The reception of Cynicism is ongoing, as is illustrated by Peter Sloterdijk's Critique of Cynical Reason, first published in 1983, which became a best-seller in Germany. 1 The humorous, scandalous, and naturally free lives of the Cynics, and, in particular, their best known representative, Diogenes of Sinope of the fourth century BC, have proved consistently fascinating. Anyone tracing the reception of Cynicism through the ages would discover a great deal about how past cultures defined themselves. Diogenes adopts an extreme position of virtue over convention, of nature over culture, and hence of freedom from taboos and freedom to speak the truth. Such a philosophy is clearly far removed from the modern sense of `cynicism'. Diogenes' radical critique of normative values led D'Alembert in the eighteenth century to claim that every epoch needs its own Diogenes, and that the Cynic's stance is courageous and therefore dangerous. The outrageous nature of Diogenes' philosophy has led successive generations to formulate their own responses to his shocking example. Analysing the nature of these responses invariably leads to understanding how the past imagined a life of radical freedom, and consequently some of the ways in which it conceived morality, the body, and the self. This thesis will trace the reception of Cynicism in French texts, focusing on one particularly rich period from the Tiers Livre (1546) to Le Moyen de parvenir (c.1615). The extreme philosophical stance of the Cynics infiltrates, or serves as a revealing comparison with, cultural tensions and uncertainties in the early modern period. Diogenes' scandalous yet humorous performance invariably encourages similarly 2 outrageous and seriocomic adaptation in early modern texts. This is true, for example, of the prologue of the Tiers Livre, in which Rabelais identifies himself and his book with Diogenes who, we are told, was a `philosophe rare, et joyeux entre mille'. 2 In his short essay, De Democritus et Heraclitus', Montaigne describes Diogenes `roulant son tonneau et hochant du nez le grand Alexandre', while in his longest essay, l'Apologie de Raimond Sebond', Diogenes' public masturbation serves as an example of radical commitment to nature and virtue. 3 Diogenes' lantern, with which he sought for a man in the crowd at midday, is illustrated in emblem books throughout the period, turned to radical political purposes in an anonymous late-sixteenth-century poem from the Spanish Netherlands, and used as a comic symbol of folly in Bruscambille's early- seventeenth-century paradoxes. The reception of Cynicism in early modern French texts is as unpredictable as it is amusing. Tracing representations of Cynicism provides unexpected insights into varied aspects of early modern thought and writing. While any division of material by time and space is bound to be fairly arbitrary, the period on which I focus nonetheless provides unusually rich pickings as far as literary representation and use of the Cynics is concerned. There are several possible explanations for this, the main one being the availability of sources. The sixth book of Diogenes Laertius's Lives, of the third century AD, which is the main source of early modern and modern knowledge of the Cynics, was unknown in the Middle Ages. Similarly, two other important sources of Cynicism, Plutarch and Lucian, returned to prominence in Western Europe in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Sixteenth-century representations of the Cynics are part of the period's general fascination with ancient material of all sorts. The aesthetic of the period, roughly characterized, encourages a mixing of registers and the abundance of examples. Generic boundaries, particularly in prose texts, are not rigidly defined, nor are they restricted by notions of bienseance. All these factors give mid-sixteenth to 1 Critique of Cynical Reason, trans. by Michael Eldred (London: Verso, 1987). 2 Francois Rabelais, CEuvres completes, ed. by Mireille Huchon and Francois Moreau (Paris: Pleiade, 1994), p. 346. 3 Michel de Montaigne, Les Essais, ed. by Pierre Villey and V.-L. Saulnier (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1965), I, 50, 303-04 and II, 12, 585. 3 early-seventeenth-century French texts room fully to explore Cynicism in a way that was not true before, owing to lack of sources, or soon after, due to a marked change in aesthetic. It is also likely that the radical freedom of the Cynics resonated during this time of religious strife and moral and philosophical questioning. I shall focus on works in French, including several books printed outside France's geographical boundaries. However, to offer as full a picture of views of Cynicism as possible, I shall include selected discussion of neo-Latin works from throughout Europe. I shall also consider some texts in other European vernaculars (mostly Italian) translated into French during the period. My purpose is not to offer an exhaustive survey of representations of Cynicism, many of which are commonplace. However, in giving readings of a wide range of primary texts, I hope to have taken the vast majority of unusual and interesting instances of use of Cynicism into account. In the first part of this introduction I shall give an overview of ancient Cynicism. The second part will establish my methodology and objectives. In the third part, I shall survey previous studies of the reception of Cynicism in the sixteenth century and their shortcomings. The fourth part will outline the organization of the thesis, and survey the kinds of primary works I analyse, and the questions I ask in my reading of them. Part One Ancient Cynicism Cynicism was a popular philosophical and cultural movement which had its origins in classical Athens, and which returned to prominence in the Roman empire, thereby encompassing the period from the fourth century BC to the sixth century AD. Despite its philosophical and literary influence, Cynicism was practically ignored by modern scholarship until the late twentieth century.

  • Temperance in the Modern World
    Temperance in the modern world In Pope Francis’ continuing diagnosis of the world’s ills, elaborated on thoroughly in his most recent encyclical Laudato Si‘ (On Care for Our Common Home), consumerism — excess consumption of material goods — ranks consistently at or near the top of the list. Consumerism is one face of the maldistribution of wealth, the other face of which is poverty. The pope calls it a “poison” that reflects “emptiness of meaning and values.” Collective consumerism is among the symptoms of what Pope St. John Paul II called “superdevelopment.” This aberration, he explained, arises from “excessive availability of every kind of material goods, for the benefit of certain social groups” and is expressed in an obsessive quest to own and consume more and more (Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, No. 28). The cure for this disease of the spirit, considered as a social problem, is the practice of social justice in economic policies, practices and laws. On the individual level, too, each of us is tempted to consumerism and has social justice responsibilities. But how are ordinary people to practice social justice? The answer is temperance. Cumulatively, temperance can make a real contribution to social justice. One person living temperately gives a good example. A multitude living temperately can change a nation, or even the world, for the better. Pope Francis makes much the same point in his encyclical, Laudato Si‘, where he uses the word “sobriety” to describe an attitude equivalent to temperance. Living this way, he writes, means “living life to the full … learning familiarity with the simplest things and how to enjoy them” (No.

  • Why Be a Monk?
    Why be a monk? What is a monk? One who strives to love God with all his heart, all his soul and all his mind and all his strength, and to love his neighbor as himself. Monasticism is the heart of the Christian Church. It is radical discipleship to Christ, taking the Lord at His word in the Scriptures, and striving to live by it in an integral way. Monasticism is not about being all dressed up. It is not about doing all the church services. It is not about being involved in church politics, or even knowing about them. Monasticism is not about religion—all the practices, beliefs, rituals and traditions. It is not about ascetic acts. It is not about a solitary life of pursuing one’s own religious path. Monasticism is about living the Gospel without compromise. It is about living in Christ by the Holy Spirit, and growing by grace to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Monasticism is about life lived in obedience to Christ, in self-denial and bearing the cross of whatever suffering God sends us to help us work out our salvation. Monasticism is about working out our salvation in a community of like- minded men, by learning to love our brother “who is our life” (St Silouan). A monastery is a single body, a sacramental community of the Church, like a marriage. It is a community in which each is present to help the other work out his salvation. We are not saved alone. We are saved as the Body of Christ.

  • The Ancient History and the Female Christian Monasticism: Fundamentals and Perspectives
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 3, Issue 3 – Pages 235-250 The Ancient History and the Female Christian Monasticism: Fundamentals and Perspectives By Paulo Augusto Tamanini This article aims to discuss about the rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Eastern Monasticism focusing on the Female gender, showing a magnificent area to be explored and that can foment, in a very positive way, a further understanding of the Church's face, carved by time, through the expansion and modes of organization of these groups of women. This article contains three main sessions: understanding the concept of monasticism, desert; a small narrative about the early ascetic/monastic life in the New Testament; Macrina and Mary of Egypt’s monastic life. Introduction The nomenclatures hide a path, and to understand the present questions on the female mystique of the earlier Christian era it is required to revisit the past again. The history of the Church, Philosophy and Theology in accordance to their methodological assumptions, concepts and objectives, give us specific contributions to the enrichment of this comprehensive knowledge, still opened to scientific research. If behind the terminologies there is a construct, a path, a trace was left in the production’s trajectory whereby knowledge could be reached and the interests of research cleared up. Once exposed to reasoning and academic curiosity it may provoke a lively discussion about such an important theme and incite an opening to an issue poorly argued in universities. In the modern regime of historicity, man and woman can now be analysed based on their subjectivities and in the place they belong in the world and not only by "the tests of reason", opening new ways to the researcher to understand them.

  • Hindu Ethics
    Crawford: Hindu Bioethics page 11 CHAPTER 1 HINDU ETHICS Satyam eva jayate nanritam. Truth alone is victorious and not falsehood. THE CONCEPT OF DHARMA The Sanskrit word for ethics is dharma (“to hold”). It signifies that which upholds or embodies law, custom, and religion, and is analogous to the concept of ‘Natural Law’ in Christian ethics, though the idea of ‘law’ should not detract from its dynamic character. Dharma is activity, mobil- ity, and is possessed of catalytic qualities. By contrast, a-dharma is stasis, stoppage, and therefore unnatural. From the beginning of Indian civilization, the Indian mind has chiefly been preoccupied with the notion of dharma. K. N. Upadhyaya notes that “the persistence and intensity with which the inquiry into dharma has been pursued is mainly on account of the firm conviction of the Indian people that dharma constitutes the differentia of man,” just as in Western philosophy, following Aristotle, rationality has been upheld as the mark that distinguishes humans from all other creatures.1 Notwithstanding this historic preoccupation with dharma, the Hindu scriptures do not have systematic discussions of moral doctrines, fash- ioned in the manner of Aristotelian or Thomistic models. At the same time Hindu scriptures are rich repositories of certain theoretical state- ments that define the shape of reality and the nature of things, along with prescriptive and practical sayings, aimed at the cultivation of moral be- havior. The terminology in which these ideas and ideals are expressed is richly suggestive, making it possible to reconstruct these fertile fragments into models of systematic ethics. Crawford: Hindu Bioethics page 12 12 Foundations The common scriptural ground on which the whole system of Hindu ethics is founded is the postulation of a summum bonum and the proper means to achieve it.

  • Liberalism, Pluralism, and Asceticism
    religions Article The “Original Position” as Public Performance: Liberalism, Pluralism, and Asceticism Joseph Rivera School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music, Dublin City University, Glasnevin, Whitehall, Dublin 9, Ireland; [email protected] Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 1 August 2019; Published: 3 August 2019 Abstract: John Rawls’ well-known device of representation (his terminology) that he names the “original position” is put into play by the veil of ignorance. This imaginative device, found in both his early and late works, is often dismissed because it is misunderstood as an exercise in moral geometry. This essay discusses in more detail the subjective mechanics of the original position; while sympathetic of Rawls’ application of the veil of ignorance, I distinguish between a thick and thin veil, whereby I promote the latter. The final section makes a connection between the simulation of the original position and the religious practice of asceticism. Keywords: Rawls; original position; veil of ignorance; asceticism; public dialogue 1. Introduction The eruption of theoretical works on identity in the last decade constitutes nothing less than an ascending trend in political philosophy and cultural studies.1 My text, Political Theology and Pluralism,2 contributes to the cascade of monographs that make the topic of identity of central importance to the messy and complex exchange of reasons concerning policy and morality that unfolds in public life. The book, more precisely, touches on identity in the form of religious self-expression (and more specifically, Christian self-expression). While I explore the practical strategy of “public dialogue” in the vocabulary of ascetic mindfulness, and while I elect to exploit a certain key category in John Rawls (the vocabulary of “overlapping consensus”), I do not discuss in that book the subjective dynamics of the practice of employing the veil of ignorance, a stance adopted in the original position, a device of representation made so famous by Rawls.

    Educational Quest: An Int. J. of Education and Applied Social Science: Vol. 8, Special Issue, pp. 331-334, June 2017 DOI: 10.5958/2230-7311.2017.00072.1 ©2017 New Delhi Publishers. All rights reserved Attachment and Detachment: Indian Philosophical Perspective Nidhi Chadha Department of Psychology, G.G.D.S.D College, Sector-32, Chandigarh, India Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study attempts to ascertain the importance of Eastern concepts in enhancing happiness and well-being in one’s life. The focus of this paper is on attachment i.e. state of being personally attached, having affectionate regard or attachment to a cause. On the opposite pole, is Detachment, i.e. an indifference to worldly concerns, aloofness and freedom from bias and prejudice. While both these concepts are poles apart, a balance of both is considered essential and ideal by various religions and psychologists. The teachings and principles of attachment and detachment are therapeutic in nature since they’re so closely related to emotions and guide one’s behavior. Thus, this study is in a growing line of research that attempts to draw relationships between core beliefs of Indian philosophy and happiness. Keywords: Attachment, detachment, happiness One promising approach to study attachment everyone. His happiness will always be dependent and detachment can be traced back to the Srimad on external sources and thus he will always have Bhagvad Gita, the holiest relic of the Hindu religion. to face disappointment, this will lead to a constant Asakti is the Sanskrit word for ‘attachment’ and swing of moods from euphoria to sorrow (Bhushan, ‘anasakti’ is the Sanskrit word for ‘detachment’ 1994).

The discussion here has been an attempt to study the concept of truth and non violence under the light of concept of Gandhian thought and philosophy. It is the elemental concept of M K Gandhi in the study of socio-political philosophy. The holy book Geeta has immense influence in moulding the philosophy of M K G. A unique concept of Ahimsa promulgated by him which had been polished in his run of life time several times. His concept of silence, law of truth, non violence, international politics in light of non violence all are discussed, analysed with a critical view. He has the opinion for the man kind to survive peace and non violence is most important to observe every walk of life. But thought that his movements did not at all depend on non-violent workers as believers in the creed of non-violence.

    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: C Sociology & Culture Volume 16 Issue 6 Version 1.0 Year 2016 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Detachment and Faith By Susan Visvanathan Introduction - The two, detachment and faith, seem contradictory, and yet theologians know that every one of us lives parallel existences, contributing not to the dilemma of compulsory choice, but engaging with co-existence as a principle of rationality. This relativism is something that sociologists have accepte as compartment alisation. The debate goes back in Indian Sociology, at least to the work of M.N. Srinivas (1996) and Milton Singer (1972), and fore grounded by Robert Redfield and his classic work on Mexico (1973). In the 60s of the last century, it was understood that when scientists went to the laboratory, they took off their traditional identities and put on their scientific roles, and nothing was lost. Renny Thomas, in a recent work, has argued that the scientists in India see no disjunction between their acceptance of religious beliefs and the practice of them, as these are cultural idioms of the society in which they live (Thomas 2015). Existentially, how do human beings live in disparate worlds, and come to terms with the many different codes of culture without creating schism in themselves?
