There are at least five ways in which philosophy appears. First, there is Cervantes’s familiarity with philosophical and his use of them in his writings. Second, the thoughts, statements, and acts of Cervantes’s hero position him in various philosophical stances. Third, the employment by literary critics of more recent philosophical developments as they read Cervantes’s novel. Fourth, we find philosophers of later generations analysing Cervantes’s novel in ways that suggest new philosophical readings of it. Fifth, we discover that certain ideas in Don Quixote anticipate future philosophical developments. This chapter shows that one of the reasons for the apparent modernity of Don Quixote is Cervantes’s comprehension of the philosophical past and his eventual escape from its grasp through his intellectual strategies, which are anticipatory of our own period.","PeriodicalId":377875,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Cervantes","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126256504","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}

Cervantes exhibits his pride at fighting for the empire and foregrounds his role at the famous Battle of Lepanto, a naval battle that saw western powers put a stop to the Ottomans, the second great empire of the period with which it competed for control of the Mediterranean. At the same time, his works often problematize questions of empire, from specific tactics in war, to the morality of waging war against other Christian nations, to general questions of imperial expansionism. This essay will point to a continuing wavering and ambiguity in his relations to empire, starting from his first substantial works in the early 1580s until his demise in 1616.","PeriodicalId":377875,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Cervantes","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131103355","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}

In effect, his capture by Barbary corsairs in 1575 and the five years he spent in Algiers left an indelible impression on his fiction. From the first works written after his liberation, such as his play El trato de Argel (c. 1581–3) and his novel La Galatea (1585), to his posthumous book Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda (1617), the story of this traumatic experience continuously resonates throughout his work. The motif of captivity characterizes Cervantes’s autobiographical narrative, La historia del cautivo, interpolated in Don Quixote I.39–41, as well as two of his novellas. Concurrently, his Barbary plays turn around the theme of captivity suffered by Christians in Ottoman territories during the early modern period.","PeriodicalId":377875,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Cervantes","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130884355","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}
