Perception and conception of the self in the early modern period: the proasic rhetorics of Coornhert and Charron

The early-modern period, Michel Foucault has argued, is the cradle of 'governmentality'. In this project, Dirck Volckertsz. Coornherts Zedekunst dat is wellevenskunste (1586) and Pierre Charron's De La Sagesse (1601) are analysed rheotrically and conceptually in view of Foucault's argument.
