They depended on power and the powerful. In the 18th century, the praise of their peers was no longer enough for intellectuals. The desire for glory, the pursuit of greatness, and the will to power are the great passions that have agitated thinkers since the Age of Enlightenment, which saw the rise of the power of the press and, with it, the torment of celebrity. In THE INTELLECTUAL PASSIONS, philosopher Elisabeth Badinter analyzes 18th-century society in an unprecedented way, composing a detailed portrait of the personal and intellectual relationships of the period's scholars. Divided into three volumes, the work covers the Enlightenment period from 1735 to 1778, and the different passions that dominated its philosophers: Desire for Glory (1735-1751), Demand for Dignity (1751-1762), and Will to Power (1762-1778), which has just been published by Civilização Brasileira. With the emergence, in the mid-18th century, of an enlightened and increasingly influential public opinion, power shifts – only public opinion can impose itself on the sovereign. According to Voltaire, world governance becomes a three-way game: philosopher, public opinion, and sovereign. Whenever the intellectual ignores this rule, he is marginalized. Thus, we witness the birth, among intellectuals, of three successive \"passions\" that constitute the theme of this trilogy. In the first volume, the author reveals the \"desire for glory\" of scholars and philosophers, who left laboratories and offices to showcase themselves in salons. In the second, we hear the \"demand for dignity\" of writers and academics, who claimed economic independence and moral authority. In this third volume, we observe the birth of the \"will to power.\" The 1760s and 1770s marked the rise and fall of Parisian men of letters. In the 1760s, the prestige of philosophers was such that they were increasingly courted by foreign kings and princes. Frederick II and Catherine II paid them court without shame. Their blessing was sought by those who wanted to be seen as enlightened sovereigns. They dreamed of becoming advisors to the sovereigns, even aspiring to enter politics. But reality was not easy, and history was not pretty either. The philosopher's place is not with the sovereign—since their reasons diverge, they have no chance of understanding one another, unless the philosopher becomes a courtier, renouncing his dignity. In the late 1770s, intellectuals grow old, disappearing one after another. Voltaire and Rousseau in the same year, Diderot and D'Alembert some time later. The era of reforms comes to an end, and the era of revolutions takes over. Innovative in its approach, visionary in its conclusions, and fascinating in the depth and breadth of its erudition, The Intellectual Passions is a unique work of its kind.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176834384124,"sku":"9788520008416","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/aca2f8c498b244899a757e37c442c17f.jpg?v=1776895220"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/elizabeth-badinter.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
