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 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 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 “this is mine.” Two similar forms of this emotion called “propre” and “de soi” are distinguished in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality. For 10 points, what emotion is less reliable than fear according to Machiavelli? ■END■
