Studia Theologica - Nordic Journal of Theology, 2011
In this article, the author attempts to clarify the motivation and goals of early Christian ascetics by treating asceticism as a political concept. By reading the ascetic tracts of Isaac of Nineveh (7th century), and drawing on some views on the role of the body in the practice of resistance in Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, the author argues that ...

Art in Translation, 2014
AbstractBredekamp’s text proposes that the Renaissance should not be regarded as a single unity in all its manifestations, but rather a complex coexistence of divergent world views. Renaissance society, he argues, was not rationally ordered in its every dimension and nor are any deviations away from this order to be explained away simply as ...

Singing the glory of asceticism: devotion of asceticism in Jainism
Journal of the American Academy of Religion, 2002The Jain tradition is commonly portrayed in scholarly literature as being focused on, if not obsessed with, various and oftentimes extreme forms of asceticism.

Blackfriars, 1920
Within the last year two, at least, valuable books have appeared on the spiritual life— Abbot Butler’s Benedictine Monachism and Mr. Watkin’s Philosophy of Mysticism. The first of these has been so much noticed that I need not stay over it, save to remark on its sweet reasonableness on the question of mortification and austerities.

Philosophy, 2018
AbstractAlthough one can find a robust philosophical tradition supporting asceticism in the West, from ancient Greece to at least early modernity, very little attention has been paid to what motivated this broad support. Instead, following criticism from figures such as Hume, Voltaire, Bentham, and Nietzsche, asceticism has been largely disregarded as ...

Petrarch and the Genealogy of Asceticism
Journal of the History of Ideas, 2001Perhaps no author within or outside of the canon of Western literature wrote as extensively on the topic of solitude as did Francesco Petrarch. While many of our modern associations with the term may find some of their origins traceable as far back as Petrarch's career, the term "solitude" carried with it much different associations in his century than

This chapter provides parallel discussions of the two theologians’ doctrines of repentance, which both were concerned to enlarge in scope in the context of what they ...

1992
In the area of the contemplative life, of meditation, mysticism and asceticism, the problem of terminology is particularly acute: apparently different terms may well be pointing to the same phenomena in the two religions, while in other instances there may be a substantial overlap but not identity of meaning.
