Condizione: 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 Zus…tand / 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.

The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore / London, 1991. XV,170p. Original grey cloth with dust wrappers. ?This useful, thoughtful and informative book in the intellectual history of the French Renaissance uses the concept of relativism to situate and compare the work of a number of major thinkers. Schiffman notes that his…point of departure was the study of the ?classificatory way of thinking?, and this is, indeed, an important part of the work, but the search for certainty, for some principle by which skepticism might be refuted or contained, is shown at work even beyond schemes of classification. Schiffman?s aim is both ambitious and subtle, and he brings us (.) many interesting ramifications in the texts he studies (?). The Renaissance, Schiffman argues, had the ?experience of relativism? but did not adopt ?doctrines of relativism? Instead (?) Schiffman is concerned with the strategies by which sixteenth- and seventeenth-century thinkers attempted to contain the relativism which they feared as they confronted an accumulation of sharply different values, laws, customs, and interpretations brought forth in humanistic philology and the Reformation. Thus relativism, understood as the collapse of a single, stable norm, is not produced by the unsettling discovery of the New World but by the recovery of antiquity, and especially by two practices that characterized this recovery; the gathering and manipulation of commonplaces, and the rhetorical discipline of arguing ?in utramque partem? Schiffman makes the point, quite persuasively, that the latter induced a skeptical cast of mind which undermined the normative intent of the former. Indeed, the simple fact of taking statements out of context deprived them of stability and coherence and forced writers to invent new frames within which the commonplaces could be related. In successive chapters Schiffman describes the ways authors met the challenge of organising information while attempting to find some principle of truth or wisdom. (?) ?On the Threshold of Modernity? is carefully documented, and pays close attention to chronology and biography. (?) Schiffman?s book deserves a wide audience.? (JOHN D. LYONS in Renaissance Quarterly, 1993, pp.384-385).
