Description

"O Elogio da Loucura, a mais popular e viva de todas as suas obras satĂ­ricas, Ă© um panfleto risonho contra o que ele tinha como os males da humanidade- a superstição, o fanatismo, a ignorĂąncia, a violĂȘncia do mundo e do poderio, a falsa e grotesca ciĂȘncia. Escrito no começo do sĂ©culo XVI, Ă© o golpe de misericĂłrdia assestado nas velhas idĂ©ias, nos velhos conceitos, no mundo que se desmoronava, abalado pelo vento do Renascimento."O Elogio da Loucura, começa com um aspecto satĂ­rico para depois tomar um aspecto mais sombrio, numa sĂ©rie de oraçÔes, jĂĄ que a loucura aprecia a auto-depreciação, e passa entĂŁo a uma apreciação satĂ­rica dos abusos supersticiosos da doutrina catĂłlica e das supostas prĂĄticas corruptas da Igreja CatĂłlica Romana. O ensaio termina com um testamento claro e por vezes emocionante dos ideais cristĂŁos.
