Title
Breeding: A Partial History Of The Eighteenth Century
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Enlightenment Commitment To Reason Naturally Gave Rise To A Belief In The Perfectibility Of Man. Influenced By John Locke And Jeanjacques Rousseau, Many Eighteenthcentury Writers Argued That The Proper Education And Upbringingbreedingcould Make Any Man A Member Of The Cultural Elite.Yet Even In This Egalitarian Environment, The Concept Of Breeding Remained Tied To Theories Of Blood Lineage, Caste Distinction, And Biological Difference. Turning To The Works Of Locke, Rousseau, Swift, Defoe, And Other Giants Of The British Enlightenment, Jenny Davidson Revives The Debates That Raged Over The Husbandry Of Human Nature And Highlights Their Critical Impact On The Development Of Eugenics, The Emergence Of Fears About Biological Determinism, And The History Of The Language Itself. Combining Rich Historical Research With A Keen Sense Of Story, She Links Explanations For The Physical Resemblance Between Parents And Children To Larger Arguments About Culture And Society And Shows How The Threads Of This Compelling Conversation Reveal The Character Of A Century. A Remarkable Intellectual History, Breeding Not Only Recasts The Fundamental Concerns Of The Enlightenment But Also Uncovers The Seeds Of Thought That Bloomed Into Contemporary Notions Of Human Perfectibility.
