The Discovery of Anxiousness : Philosophy and Mysticism in Baroque Portugal
$67.03
Are anxiety or dread negative stages before freedom, a confrontation with humans' own mortality and finitude? Joana Serrado inaugurates anxiousness as a category of mystical knowledge in this innovative historical and philosophical study. Based on the life and mystical writings of Joana de Jesus, a Cistercian nun, intellectual disciple of Teresa of Avila, this study shows the cultural embeddedness of anxiousness: a feeling akin to the Portuguese term ?audade?(yearning, Sehnsucht). A mystical project that reshapes feminist principles of autonomy, agency and desire.
