About the book

In «English Conferences of Ernest Renan: Rome and Christianity. Marcus Aurelius,» the renowned French philosopher and historian Ernest Renan delves into the intricate relationship between the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity, focusing particularly on the philosophical underpinnings of Marcus Aurelius. Renan's eloquent style intertwines rigorous scholarship with a poetic sensibility, as he crafts compelling narratives that elucidate the cultural and religious transformations during the pivotal period of late antiquity. His exploration of Aurelius not only sheds light on the Stoic principles that shaped Roman thoughts but also lays the groundwork for understanding the conflict and coexistence between paganism and nascent Christianity in a rapidly changing world. Ernest Renan (1823-1892) is celebrated for his profound insights into religion and history, influenced by his own complex relationship with faith and scholarship. As a product of the Enlightenment, Renan's background as a philologist and his experiences in the post-revolutionary milieu of France informed his critical approach to religious texts and historical narratives. This scholarly inquiry into Marcus Aurelius and early Christianity reflects his lifelong quest for understanding the dynamics of faith, philosophy, and culture. «English Conferences of Ernest Renan: Rome and Christianity. Marcus Aurelius» is an essential read for those intrigued by the foundations of Western thought and the historical interplay of religion and philosophy.
