In \u003cem\u003eNorth\/South\u003c\/em\u003e, which completes a trilogy of works devoted to the study of the mind and body of Europe, Ricardo J. Quinones examines the momentous early modern origins of this division. Quinones focuses on four concepts connected with the Protestant Reformation whose emergence defines the rise of the North and the subjugation of the South: Christian liberty, skepticism, tolerance, and time. Tracing their influence through the political and philosophical conflicts of the era and forward into the Enlightenment, he suggests that they constitute the basis of Europe’s transformation between the sixteenth century and the dawn of the industrial revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA fascinating combination of cultural and intellectual history, philosophy, and comparative literature written in the vein of Quinones’ award-winning \u003cem\u003eDualisms\u003c\/em\u003e, this work, called “dazzling” by one critic, shows a contemporary pertinence with the relapse of the South into the subordinate position which it was thought to have overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Ground-works\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Decline and Resistance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Challenge of Ideas\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Tolerance Twin to Incredulity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Paradox of Time and the Moderns\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Major Figures and Causality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Centering the Great Bases in Thought\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: English Thought: John Milton, John Locke and John Stuart Mill\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Edict of Nantes, Toleration and Voltaire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: The Pending Revival of the South\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Toward a Summation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595444351256,"sku":"9781487500054","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/north-south-the-great-european-divide-hardback-9781487500054","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
