商品描述
Exploring debt's permutations in Middle English texts, Anne Schuurman makes the bold claim that the capitalist spirit has its roots in Christian penitential theology. Her argument challenges the longstanding belief that faith and theological doctrine in the Middle Ages were inimical to the development of market economies, showing that the same idea of debt is in fact intrinsic to both. The double penitential-financial meaning of debt, and the spiritual paradoxes it creates, is a linchpin of scholastic and vernacular theology, and of the imaginative literature of late medieval England. Focusing on the doubleness of debt, this book traces the dynamic by which the Christian ascetic ideal, in its rejection of material profit and wealth acquisition, ends up producing precisely what it condemns. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在中古英語文本中探索債務的變形,安妮·舒爾曼(Anne Schuurman)大膽聲稱,資本主義精神源於基督教的懺悔神學。她的論點挑戰了長期以來的信念,即中世紀的信仰和神學教義對市場經濟的發展是不利的,並展示了債務這一概念實際上在兩者中都是固有的。債務的雙重懺悔-金融含義以及它所創造的精神悖論是學院派和白話文神學以及晚期中世紀英國的想像文學的關鍵。本書著重於債務的雙重性,追蹤了基督教禁慾理想的動態,它拒絕了物質利潤和財富的獲取,卻最終產生了它所譴責的東西。本書是「翻開它」計劃的一部分,也可能提供開放存取。詳情請查看我們的網站Cambridge Core。
