Anger, gratitude, and the Enlightenment writer
Anger, gratitude, and the Enlightenment writer
About this book
On the one hand, anger and gratitude are crucial in appreciating what one owes to oneself or others; on the other, they disturb one's internal balance and reinforce one's dependence upon others. This book explores the tension between these two attitudes in the work of French Enlightenment writers such as Rousseau, Diderot, and Marivaux.
