Zusammenfassung: | We think of the Enlightenment as an era dominated by ideas of progress, production, and industry--not an era that favored the lax and indolent individual. But was the Enlightenment only about the unceasing improvement of self and society? The Pursuit of Laziness examines moral, political, and economic treatises of the period, and reveals that crucial eighteenth-century texts did find value in idleness and nonproductivity. Fleshing out Enlightenment thinking in the works of Denis Diderot, Joseph Joubert, Pierre de Marivaux, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Jean-Siméon Chardin, this book explores idleness in all its guises, and illustrates that laziness existed, not as a vice of the wretched, but as an exemplar of modernity and a resistance to beliefs about virtue and utility. |

The Pursuit of Laziness examines moral, political, and economic treatises of the period, and reveals that crucial eighteenth-century texts did find value in idleness and nonproductivity. Fleshing out Enlightenment thinking in the works of Denis Diderot, Joseph Joubert, Pierre de Marivaux, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Jean-Siméon Chardin, this book explores idleness in all its guises, and illustrates that laziness existed, not as a vice of the wretched, but as an exemplar of modernity and a resistance to beliefs about virtue and utility.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Enlightenment</subfield><subfield code="z">France.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Laziness.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85075413</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Siècle des Lumières</subfield><subfield code="z">France.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Paresse.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">History & Surveys</subfield><subfield code="x">Modern.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Enlightenment</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Laziness</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">France</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJd8gD4vdtqQMdQHvYqbBP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Philosophy & Religion.</subfield><subfield code="2">hilcc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Philosophy.</subfield><subfield code="2">hilcc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Gage, Jennifer C.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81144937</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The pursuit of laziness (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCG8CwFkjHcyb4yPMy3xmtX</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Saint-Amand, Pierre, 1957-</subfield><subfield code="t">Pursuit of laziness.</subfield><subfield code="d">Princeton, N.J. ;

Introduction (Idle Nation) -- The surprises of laziness (Marivaux) -- Chardin's slowness -- The great project of an idle life (Rousseau) -- Paradox of the idler (Diderot) -- Philosophy on the pillow (Joubert) -- Epilogue (Toward moderation). Print version record. We think of the Enlightenment as an era dominated by ideas of progress, production, and industry--not an era that favored the lax and indolent individual. But was the Enlightenment only about the unceasing improvement of self and society? The Pursuit of Laziness examines moral, political, and economic treatises of the period, and reveals that crucial eighteenth-century texts did find value in idleness and nonproductivity. Fleshing out Enlightenment thinking in the works of Denis Diderot, Joseph Joubert, Pierre de Marivaux, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Jean-Siméon Chardin, this book explores idleness in all its guises, and illustrates that laziness existed, not as a vice of the wretched, but as an exemplar of modernity and a resistance to beliefs about virtue and utility.
