The paradigm espoused the adaptation to prevailing political circumstances, the practice of 'mixed prudence,' (knowing the circumstances in which to apply deceit) and the use of historical example as a guide to contemporary action as political virtues.Constant Minds investigates the reception and use of Lipsian ideas in the moral, political, and literary culture of late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century England through examination of the writings and activities of Walter Ralegh, Francis Bacon, Fulke Greville, Ben Jonson, and Joseph Hall. Adriana McCrea demonstrates how this continental school of thought permeated the political ideas of these English writers, and places her study in the contexts of the literary conventions of the humanist tradition, the political events of the time, and the activities and circles of the authors themselves. McCrea's study fuses intellectual history with political history and literary analysis, prompting new questions about the nature of English Renaissance humanism and political perception in England during the early modern period. 410 0$aMental and cultural world of Tudor and Stuart England. 606 $aPhilosophy, English$y16th century 606 $aPhilosophy, English$y17th century 606 $aStoics 606 $aConstancy 606 $aVirtue 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy, English 615 0$aPhilosophy, English 615 0$aStoics. 615 0$aConstancy. 615 0$aVirtue. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a199.493 700 $aMcCrea$b Adriana Alice Norma$f1951-$01050497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455808503321 996 $aConstant minds$92480315 997 $aUNINA
