The uniqueness and importance of Humanism in Crisis arises from the
way in which a significant historical event-the end of the French
Renaissance-is examined from several different perspectives in
order to provide a thorough investigation of its causes and
consequences. Although historians, philosophers, sociologists, and
literary critics view the French Renaissance differently, they all
seem to agree on the notion that something happened between 1580
and 1630-between Montaigne and Descartes-that transformed every
aspect of society and that undermined the foundation of humanism in
France, dividing the French Renaissance from the "Grand siecle"
that followed it. The causes of this decline, however, are as
obscure as a precise determination of when the French Renaissance
"died." In Humanism in Crisis, fourteen internationally known
scholars examine such topics as education, philosophy, scientific
method, historical relativism, cosmography, literary genres,
everyday life, medicine, and mythology and detect a series of
crises that acted to bring about the decline of humanism and the
end of the French Renaissance. The diversity of approaches allows a
comprehensive vision of society to be presented. Moreover, several
essays provide answers to questions asked in others, thus creating
a sense of unity by relating individual contributions to each
other.
