The Crisis of Modernity makes available for the first time in English a selection of Del Noce's essays and lectures on the cultural history of the twentieth century. Del Noce maintained that twentieth-century history must be understood specifically as a philosophical history, because Western culture was profoundly affected by the major philosophies of the previous century such as idealism, Marxism, and positivism. Such philosophies became the secular, neo-gnostic surrogate of Christianity for the European educated classes after the French Revolution, and the next century put them to the practical test, bringing to light their ultimate and necessary consequences. One of the first thinkers to recognize the failure of Marxism, Del Noce posited that this failure set the stage for a new secular, technocratic society that had taken up Marx’s historical materialism and atheism while rejecting his revolutionary doctrine. Displaying Del Noce's rare ability to reconstruct intellectual genealogies and to expose the deep metaphysical premises of social and political movements, The Crisis of Modernity presents an original reading of secularization, scientism, the sexual revolution, and the history of modern Western culture.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;64.Civilization, ModernSecularizationCivilization, Modern.Secularization.909.08Del Noce Augusto143376Lancellotti CarloMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808843003321The crisis of modernity4079736UNINA03088nam 22004455 450 991081393970332120230817181920.01-5017-4470-410.7591/9781501744709(CKB)4100000009147492(MiAaPQ)EBC5965135(DE-B1597)533799(OCoLC)1125114868(DE-B1597)9781501744709(EXLCZ)99410000000914749220191126d2019 fg 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier"Poor Sinning Folk" Confession and Conscience in Counter-Reformation Germany /David MyersIthaca, NY :Cornell University Press,[2019]©19961 online resource (xii, 230 pages) illustrations0-8014-3081-X Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Acknowledgments /Myers, W. David --Introduction --I. Late-Medieval and Reformation Confession --II. The Catholic Reformation and Sacramental Confession --Bibliography --IndexIn "Poor, Sinning Folk," W. David Myers investigates the sixteenth-century fate of the medieval Christian sacrament of penance, the process of confessing to a priest in secret one's sins against God and other humans. In Pre-Reformation Germany, numerous layers of public ritual, expectation, and display surrounded the central secret act of confessing and conditioned its meaning. Less frequent and less private than the ritual familiar to modern Catholics, medieval penance was for most German-speaking Christians a seasonal event with social as well as spiritual ramifications for participants. Protestantism swept confession away from many German lands. Even where Catholicism survived and flourished, as in the lands comprising modern Bavaria, the sacrament of penance changed profoundly. The modern confessional booth was introduced, making the sacrament more prominent, more secure from scandal, and ultimately more private. This reform coincided with the efforts of secular rulers to fashion a more disciplined, obedient population. New religious orders, most notably the Society of Jesus in Bavaria, saw the frequent confession of lay people as a means to piety and spiritual discipline amidst the temptations of worldly affairs. By the middle of the seventeenth century, political and religious forces combined to forge the sacrament of penance into an effective instrument of spiritual discipline which would fashion the modern Catholic conscience and endure essentially unchanged into the late twentieth century.ConfessionBavaria (Germany)Church historyAustriaChurch historyConfession.265/.6/094309031Myers Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut801206DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910813939703321"Poor Sinning Folk"4096585UNINA
