Voltaire called fanaticism the monster that pretends to be the child of religion. Philosophers politicians and cultural critics have decried fanaticism and attempted to define the distinctive qualities of the fanatic whom Winston Churchill described as someone who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. Yet despite fanaticism’s role in the long history of social discord human conflict and political violence it remains a relatively neglected topic in the history of philosophy. In this outstanding inquiry into the philosophical history of fanaticism a team of international contributors examine the topic from antiquity to the present day. Organized into four sections topics covered include: Fanaticism in ancient Greek Indian and Chinese philosophy; Fanaticism and superstition from Hobbes to Hume including chapters on Locke and Montesquieu Shaftesbury and Hutcheson; Kant Germaine de Stael Hegel Nietzsche William James and Jorge Portilla on fanaticism; Fanaticism and terrorism; and extremism and gender including the philosophy and morality of the manosphere; Closed-mindedness and political and epistemological fanaticism. Spanning themes from superstition enthusiasm and misanthropy to the emotions purity and the need for certainty Fanaticism and the History of Philosophy is a landmark volume for anyone researching and teaching the history of philosophy particularly ethics and moral philosophy. It is also a valuable resource for those studying fanaticism in related fields such as religion the history of political thought sociology and the history of ideas.
