About This Item
Oxford: Oxford U. P., 1997. 1st edition. As New. quarto. hardback with dust jacket xii + 1044pp., maps, index, ÔConsideration of the origins of the modern ideal of human fulfilment and of obstacles to its realisation in the early modern period frames an investigation that ranges from work, wealth, and possessions to the pleasures of friendship, family, and sociability. The cult of military prowess, the pursuit of honour and reputation, the nature of religious belief and scepticism, and the desire to be posthumously remembered are all drawn into the discussion, and the views and practices of ordinarypeople are measured against the opinions of the leading philosophers and theologians of the time.Õ
