Angus Gowland investigates the theory of melancholy and its many applications in the Renaissance by means of a wide-ranging contextual analysis of Robert Burton's encyclopaedic Anatomy of Melancholy (first published in 1621). Approaching the Anatomy as the culmination of early modern medical, philosophical and spiritual inquiry about melancholy, Gowland examines the ways in which Burton exploited the moral psychology central to the Renaissance understanding of the condition to construct a critical vision of his intellectual and political environment. In the first sustained analysis of the evolving relationship of the Anatomy (in the various versions issued between 1621 and 1651) to late Renaissance humanist learning and early seventeenth-century England and Europe, Gowland corrects the prevailing view of the work as an unreflective digest of other authors' opinions, and reveals the Anatomy's character as a polemical literary engagement with the live intellectual, religious and political issues of its day.

The Melancholy Android is a psychological study of the impulses behind the creation of androids. Exploring three imaginative figures—the mummy, the golem, and the automaton—and their appearances in myth, religion, literature, and film, Eric G. Wilson tracks the development of android-building and examines the lure of artificial doubles untroubled by awareness of self. Drawing from the works of philosophers Ficino, Kleist, Freud, and Jung; writers Goethe, Coleridge, Shelley, and Poe; and movies such as Metropolis, The Mummy, and Blade Runner, this book not only offers a range of sites from which to analyze the relationship between mind and machine, but also considers a pressing paradoxical dilemma—loving machines we want to hate.

Ce livre est une réflexion sur l'acédie et son actualité à l'intérieur du dynamisme de l'agir humain. L'auteur part d'une hypothèse : l'acédie, péché monastique par excellence, que les anciens moines avaient tant étudiée, mais dont on ne parle pratiquement plus aujourd'hui, ne constituerait-elle pas un obstacle majeur dans le déploiement de l'agir de tout chrétien? Au terme d'une étude à la fois rigoureuse et facile à lire, il apparaît que l'acédie, à la charnière entre le charnel et le spirituel, est le piège mortel au cœur de la tension unitaire qui donne son sens à la morale et l'unit intimement à la spiritualité. Cette découverte fait apparaître d'une manière nouvelle et originale l'unité foncière de la morale et de la spiritualité, dans une démarche théologique vivante qui, écoutant en écho les Pères et saint Thomas d'Aquin, s'ouvre à un dialogue constructif avec la théologie contemporaine, dans les grandes perspectives de Vatican II. « Le titre bien suggestif, "La Saveur de Dieu", est plus qu'une invitation à retrouver la joie du dynamisme de l'agir humain tendu vers Dieu. Je vous remercie pour cette précieuse contribution scientifique sur l'acédie. Elle servira sans aucun doute à beaucoup d'âmes, assoiffées de perfection, à retrouver les délices d'une vie spirituelle abreuvée à la source intarissable de l'Amour éternel».(Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, président du Comité du prix Henri de Lubac)
