Passions and Subjectivity in Early Modern Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Cummings, Brian

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Framed within a wide range of ideas, including politics and religion, this volume makes new connections between embodiment, selfhood and the passions. It explores new ways of negotiating the boundaries between a cognitive and bodily approach to emotion, and in the process suggests both new models of the self and new models for interactive and inter-disciplinary history.
