Inventions et usages du génie (xvie-xviiie siècle)
Publication type: Book
Author:Perras (Jean-Alexandre)
Abstract: Between the linguistic debates of the sixteenth century and the untimely “Panthéonisations” of the Revolution, the history of the genius is agonistic. A pivot between the individual and the collective, genius is both exceptional and exemplary. Being never truly “para-doxal” is not the least of its paradoxes.
