Indeed, there is a well-established disagreement between those who wish to claim that the centrality of theology to his work makes it historically limited, and those who wish to press into service for contemporary political theory broadly Lockean style arguments about liberty and self-ownership. That Locke himself recognised but failed to resolve something like this tension, between a belief in free human agency and a belief in divine omnipotence, would seem to offer little hope for a satisfactory resolution to the problem from within his own work. However, by tracing some of the ways in which Locke attempted to think through the implications of his analysis of responsible agency under legitimate government it might be possible to better appreciate the character and the quality of his arguments. Moreover, this might in fact provide us with some foundations for a clearly useable Lockean legacy that nevertheless remains historically sensitive to the nuances of his position. In particular by focusing on the analysis of self-government through internal control of the passions, and external prudence in the sphere of public and political judgement, we can see the importance of two major intellectual influences upon Locke's political theory. The first refers to the still relatively under appreciated impact of Pierre Nicole, whilst the second is more mainstream in its presentation of a broadly Ciceronian style of politics and political liberty. When these two features are combined in Locke, the distinctive cast of his political theory of liberty as a form of propriety becomes clearer. It is a type of liberty grounded in the idea of responsible action for which one is answerable as a person both in and through time.","PeriodicalId":341308,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century Norwich","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129602166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Katznelson","doi":"10.1017/CBO9780511790782.005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511790782.005","url":null,"abstract":"Recent studies in the history of modern political thought increasingly have been turning to the writings of Germaine de Stael. Intriguingly, this revival of interest in a body of thought long neglected by students of political ideas has been marked by a stark dualism. For some, she helps reconsider the character of republicanism. For others, her work clarifies the birth of continental, especially French, liberalism. Each version claims Stael as one of its canonical or foundational figures. How might we come to terms with such different appraisals? Although her texts are both republican and liberal, they appear so not at the same time but in a sequence characterized by an internal trajectory, a movement from an originally republican to, ultimately, a decidedly liberal stance. First a republican, she increasingly distanced herself from this tradition to become a liberal. It is this shift we seek to understand. The challenge is to appreciate when, why, and how she said farewell to republicanism and embraced liberalism. We do so by identifying a moment of inflection in Stael's orientation. Unlike others who ask us to choose between a republican or a liberal Stael, Lucien Jaume and Marcel Gauchet also focus on her intellectual transition and political transformation. Our analysis, though, differs from theirs. Jaume's account attributes changes in Stael's thought to both biographical and theoretical causes. He identifies her disenchantment with Bonaparte, whose coup d'etat revealed immanent authoritarian and despotic possibilities in the newborn republic.","PeriodicalId":341308,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century Norwich","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124577836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These views were still circulating in Enlightenment sex advice literature. With the development of new medical opinion, fresh attempts were made to 'civilise' the body through the control of bodily fluids, with masturbation seen as being particularly unhealthy. Often in opposition to these new 'scientific' promulgations, erotica would stand as an expression of popular concern about the body which expressed disbelief in dominant medical opinion while retaining acceptance of some of the older theories. Moral anxieties about the body were raised in erotica through the investigation of body parts and bodily fluids in the themes of sexual initiation, blood and ejaculation (both male and female). All these discussions on bodily fluids -circulating in the Enlightenment (traditional views on the body, new medical opinion and erotica) expressed gendered notions about bodily fluids, including blood; male fluids were seen as 'precious', but female fluids were, on the other hand, dispensable.","PeriodicalId":341308,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century Norwich","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128509481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
