Three case studies clarify this relationship between intellectual standards and practical moral duty. The first shows that the Victorians adapted a universal conception of sainthood to the responsibilities specific to class, gender, social rank, and vocation. The second illustrates how these ideals of self-discipline achieved their form and cultural vigor by analyzing the eighteenth-century moral philosophy of Joseph Butler, John Wesley, Samuel Johnson, and William Paley. The final reinterprets conflict between the liberal Anglican Noetics and the conservative Oxford Movement as a clash over the means of developing habits of self-denial. 410 0$aHistory of science and medicine library.$pScientific and learned cultures and their institutions ;$vVolume 14. 606 $aSelf-denial$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aVirtue$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aPatience$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aHumility$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEthics$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aOxford movement$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xMoral conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSelf-denial$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aVirtue$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aPatience$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aHumility$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aEthics$xHistory. 615 0$aOxford movement$xHistory. 676 $a941.07 700 $aBellon$b Richard$c(Historian),$0235530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463626003321 996 $aA sincere and teachable heart$92049546 997 $aUNINA
