Question

Madame Guyon’s writings on a form of this emotion sparked François de Fénelon and Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet’s involvement in the Quietist controversy. John Norris published his correspondence with Mary Astell as a series (15[1])of “Letters Concerning” a form of this emotion. A distinction between two forms of this emotion from Norris’ Practical Discourses was attacked in “A Discourse Concerning” one of them by Damaris Masham (“DAM-uh-riss MASS-um”). A form of this emotion arose from perfectible individuals’ ability to (*) compare themselves, before (10[1])which people only felt pity and a different form of this emotion. A form of this emotion led one man to enclose a plot of land and say (-5[1])“this is mine.” (10[1])Two similar forms of this emotion called “propre” and (10[1])“de soi” are distinguished (10[1])in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality. For 10 points, what emotion is less reliable than fear according to Machiavelli? (10[1])■END■
