Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo examines the emergence of Jansenism, the spread of encyclopedism, and the growing influence of French culture, presenting a critical view of how these European currents impacted Spanish religious and cultural identity. A fundamental work for understanding the tensions between tradition and modernity from a conservative perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on the consequences of the rise of the Bourbon dynasty following the War of the Spanish Succession. Menéndez y Pelayo analyzes how the loss of territories such as Menorca and Gibraltar marked the beginning of a period of foreign influence that, in his view, eroded Spanish traditions. He examines Jansenism as a reformist theological movement within the Church, encyclopedism as a vehicle for French Enlightenment ideas, and the cultural preponderance of France, which manifested in fashions, customs, and thought. The author criticizes administrative centralization and regalism, which he considers factors that weakened ecclesiastical autonomy and provincial liberties. The work presents a detailed study of how these European currents penetrated Spanish society, influencing literature, philosophy, and the sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eJansenism in Spain and its impact on ecclesiastical reforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe spread of encyclopedism and French Enlightenment ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFrench cultural influence and its effect on Spanish traditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBourbon administrative centralization and regalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tensions between Catholic tradition and Enlightenment modernity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at historians, scholars of Spanish thought, researchers of Church history, and readers interested in 18th-century Spain.

Menéndez y Pelayo offers an erudite analysis that, while marked by his nationalist and Catholic bias, provides a deep understanding of the religious and cultural tensions of the era. Its value lies in the thoroughness of the study and the ability to reflect the thinking of an intellectual sector that viewed European influence with suspicion. A reference text for those seeking to understand the complexity of the debate between tradition and modernity in the history of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LINKGUA EDICIONES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405987930459,"sku":"9788498166606","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849816660.jpg?v=1781834852","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788498166606","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
