Fenelon - Moral and Political Writings (Hardcover)

Fenelon is arguably one of the most neglected major philosophers of
early modernity. His political masterwork was the most-read book in
eighteenth-century France after the Bible, and yet today even
specialists rarely engage his work directly. This problem is
particularly acute in the Anglophone world, where only a small
fraction of Fenelon's vast and influential corpus has appeared in
modern English translation. This collection of new translations of
Fenelon's moral and political writings renders one of the leading
voices of early modern philosophy accessible to English-language
audiences. Reflecting the impressive breadth of Fenelon's thought,
the volume includes work on topics ranging from education to
literature to religion and statecraft. In the realm of political
philosophy and ethics, Fenelon was an uncompromising critic of
Louis XIV and absolutism, committed to reforming France's social,
political and economic institutions. In the Enlightenment, he came
to be celebrated as a pioneering theorist of education and
rhetoric, a prescient student of economics and international
relations, and a key voice in the philosophical debates among the
heirs of Descartes - not to mention his fame as one of the
seventeenth-century's most preeminent theologians and spiritualists
and masters of French prose. With an extensive introduction to
Fenelon's life and work, this volume is a critical resource for
students and scholars of French history, political philosophy,
economics, education, literature, and religion.
