Shūrīdigī va Malīkhūlīya: Falsafah, Ilahīyat va Shi'r dar Rinusans: Persian 1403

What does it mean to question ways of life that go beyond the ordinary? What are the forms of affirmation of excessive and disproportionate human power? Can fury and melancholy represent the anthropological model of this power? This book examines these questions by studying the major authors of the Renaissance who placed fury and melancholy at the center of their philosophy, starting with Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Leo the Hebrew, and Giordano Bruno. It thus appears that while being linked by a constitutive relationship, fur,y, and melancholy nevertheless follow thein lines of development, demonstrating relative autonomy concerning one another. Without the excess or immoderation expressed by a furious power, there are no properly “creative” acts or words, since every act of creation implies a profound transformation of the usual rules – ethical, political, or aesthetic.
