Published in five editions between 1621 and 1651, The Anatomy of Melancholy marks a unique moment in the development of disciplines, when fields of knowledge were distinct but not yet restrictive. In Robert Burton's Rhetoric, Susan Wells analyzes the Anatomy, demonstrating how its early modern practices of knowledge and persuasion can offer a model for transdisciplinary scholarship today. In the first decades of the seventeenth century, Robert Burton attempted to gather all the existing knowledge about melancholy, drawing from professional discourses including theology, medicine, and philology as well as the emerging sciences. Examining this text through a rhetorical lens, Wells provides an account of these disciplinary exchanges in all their subtle variety and abundant wit, showing that questions of how knowledge is organized and how it is made persuasive are central to rhetorical theory. Ultimately, Wells argues that in addition to a book about melancholy, Burton's Anatomy is a meditation on knowledge. A fresh interpretation of The Anatomy of Melancholy, this volume will be welcomed by scholars of early modern English and the rhetorics of health and medicine, as well as those interested in transdisciplinary work and rhetorical theory.

Le plaisir et la nécessité, ou le mariage de l'hédonisme et du matérialisme. Relation forte mais également complexe et disputée, qui trouve son origine dans la tradition atomiste de l'Antiquité, celle de Démocrite, Épicure et Lucrèce. Ce livre, en renouvelant l'interprétation de ce débat fondateur, repense le rapport entre physique et anthropologie. Il montre comment l'hédonisme épicurien répond au slogan de Démocrite 'tout arrive selon la nécessité' et à la conception de l'activité humaine qui en résulte. L'épicurisme reconduit toutes nos actions au plaisir, émotion première et naturelle où s'enracinent la liberté de l'agent et sa capacité à se soustraire à l'empire de la nécessité. Il ne nie pas pour autant notre immersion dans le monde, mais voit au contraire dans l'analyse des circonstances extérieures circonstances matérielles, mais aussi politiques et sociales la condition première de la sérénité intérieure et d'une vie sans troubles. Les principes de conduite que défend dans son ensemble l'atomisme ancien sont sans illusions. Éthique désenchantée, dira-t-on. Éthique crédible, en tout cas, qui se fonde sur une philosophie lucide des circonstances.

Les pensées de Démocrite et d’Épicure, bien qu’opposées, appartiennent à la même tradition de l’atomisme : Démocrite est le penseur du matérialisme le plus pur; Épicure en déduit les conséquences d’un sensualisme individualiste strict. Il apparaît ainsi qu’Épicure réélabore la pensée de Démocrite : il faut inverser l’atomisme théorique pour donner place à la félicité et à l’amitié, contre la nécessité

How did the Ancient Greek Atomists come to assume the existence of atoms, and how did they understand their indivisibility? These are the most difficult questions facing researchers into Atomism in Classical Antiquity, and it is these questions that Laura Gemelli addresses in the present study. She re-examines the Ancients' tradition from a new perspective, starting from the influence that academic atomism and the attendant problems and concepts had on Aristotle's interpretation of ancient Atomism.This hitherto neglected perspective leads to a critical revision of generally accepted theses such as the origins of Atomism in Eleatism and the postulation of the atom as a solution to the aporias of infinite divisibility. The author then follows the further development of the views of Atomism put forward by Aristotle and Theophrastus as far as the Neo-Platonists. This book provides the foundations for a re-evaluation of the sources and a shift in perspective for research into the Ancient Atomists. Wie sind die antiken Atomisten zur Annahme der Atome gekommen, und wie haben sie deren Unteilbarkeit aufgefasst? Dies sind die schwierigsten Fragen in der Forschung zum antiken Atomismus, und ihnen widmet sich Laura Gemelli in der vorliegenden Studie. Sie überprüft die antike Überlieferung unter einem neuen Gesichtspunkt: nämlich ausgehend von dem Einfluss, den der akademische Atomismus und die damit verbundenen Problemstellungen und Begriffe auf die Interpretation des antiken Atomismus bei Aristoteles hatten. Diese bisher vernachlässigte Perspektive führt zur kritischen Revision allgemein akzeptierter Thesen wie der Entstehung des Atomismus aus dem Eleatismus und der Annahme des Atoms als Lösung der Aporien über die unendliche Teilbarkeit. Die von Aristoteles und von Theophrast ausgehenden Auffassungen des Atomismus werden dann in ihrer weiteren Entwicklung bis zum Neuplatonismus verfolgt. Das Buch schafft die Grundlagen für eine Neubewertung der Quellen und für eine Verschiebung der Perspektive in der Forschung zum antiken Atomismus.

The role of the fool is to provoke the powerful to question their convictions, preferably while avoiding a beating. Fools accomplish this not by hectoring their audience, but by broaching sensitive topics indirectly, often disguising their message in a joke or a tale. Writers and thinkers throughout history have adopted the fool's approach, and here Ralph Lerner turns to six of them--Thomas More, Francis Bacon, Robert Burton, Pierre Bayle, Benjamin Franklin, and Edward Gibbon--to elucidate the strategies these men employed to persuade the heedless, the zealous, and the overly confident to pause.
