The fear within : apprehension in 16th-century French literature
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation investigates the relationship between knowledge and fear in 16th century French literature, by studying the semantic and conceptual evolution that the word "appréhension" underwent at that time: from perception to prospective fear, from the realm of cognition to the one of emotion. It argues that this evolution was symptomatic of a conflict between competing epistemological frameworks: the one of institutionalized knowledge and the one of direct experience.
