A Feminist physiology: B. J. Feijoo (1676-1764) and his advice for those in love
2021
This essay analyzes how the Benedictine monk Benito Jerónimo Feijoo (1676-1764), one of the most popular Spanish natural philosophers in Europe and America, discussed amorous attraction.

According to Foucault, western governmental rationality can be traced back to the Judeo-Christian tradition in general and to the Christian ideology and practice of the pastorate in particular. In this article, my purpose is to show that Christianity was not the prelude to what Foucault calls governmentality but rather marked a rupture in the development that started in classical Greece and Rome and continued in early modern Europe. With the rise of Christianity, the majority …
