Fallen Nature, Fallen Selves by Michael Moriarty
An investigation of psychological and ethical thought in seventeenth-century France, emphasizing both continuities and discontinuities with ancient and medieval thought. It demonstrates the subtlety and complexity of psychological analysis that characterizes the period and shows how religious doctrines affected ethical and psychological thought.
