9780198816669 / The Roman de la rose in its Philosophical Context: Art, Nature, and Ethics (Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs) 1st Edition
by Oxford University Press; 1st edition (May 1, 2018) (Author)It considers the limitations and possibilities of approaching ideas through the medium of poetic fiction, whose lies paradoxically promise truth and whose ambiguities and self-contradiction make it hard to discern its positions. This indeterminacy allows poetry to investigate the world and the self in ways not available to texts produced in the Scholastic context of universities, especially those of the University of Paris, whose philosophical controversies in the 1270s form the backdrop against which the poem is analysed. At the heart of the
Rose are the three ideas of art, nature, and ethics, which cluster around its central subject: love. While the book offers larger claims about the Rose’s philosophical agenda, different chapters consider the specifics of how it draws on, and responds to, Roman poetry, twelfth-century Neoplatonism, and thirteenth-century Aristotelianism in broaching questions about desire, epistemology, human nature, the imagination, primitivism, the philosophy of art, and the ethics of money.Specification: The Roman de la rose in its Philosophical Context: Art, Nature, and Ethics (Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs) 1st Edition 9780198816669
