The book "Maladies of the Will: The American Novel and the Modernity Problem" by Jennifer Fleissner offers a unique perspective on the evolution of technology and its impact on humanity. The author argues that the modern concept of the will, which is central to Western thought and culture, is inherently flawed and has led to the current state of tumult in our society. She contends that this flaw is rooted in the nineteenth-century American novel, which portrays the will as prone to insufficiency and excess, from indecision to obsessive impulses and melancholic inertia. Through a detailed analysis of works such as Moby-Dick, The Scarlet Letter, and The Marrow of Tradition, Fleissner reveals how the will's grandeur and perversity have been depicted in these novels, often aligning itself with or pitting itself against a higher power, be it God, the state, society, or life itself. Fleissner posits that the ideal of autonomous self-determination, which underlies modernity, is based on an incomplete understanding of the human condition. Instead of reason or sentiment, she suggests that the will's maladies are the true foundation of modern premises. This flawed understanding has led to the medicalization of many behaviors and the doubt of democracy's tenet of popular will.
Книга Дженнифер Флейсснер «Maladies of the Will: The American Novel and the Modernity Problem» предлагает уникальный взгляд на эволюцию технологии и её влияние на человечество. Автор утверждает, что современная концепция воли, которая занимает центральное место в западной мысли и культуре, изначально порочна и привела к нынешнему состоянию беспорядка в нашем обществе. Она утверждает, что этот недостаток коренится в американском романе девятнадцатого века, который изображает волю как склонную к недостаточности и избытку, от нерешительности до навязчивых импульсов и меланхолической инерции. Благодаря детальному анализу таких произведений, как «Моби-Дик», «Алая буква» и «Мозг традиции», Флейсснер показывает, как величие и извращенность воли были изображены в этих романах, часто совмещая себя или противопоставляя себя высшей силе, будь то Бог, государство, общество или сама жизнь. Флейсснер утверждает, что идеал автономного самоопределения, лежащий в основе современности, основан на неполном понимании состояния человека. Вместо разума или чувства она предполагает, что болезни воли являются истинной основой современных предпосылок. Это ошибочное понимание привело к медикализации многих форм поведения и сомнению принципа народной воли демократии.
livre de Jennifer Fleissner « Maladies of the Will : The American Novel and the Modernity Problem » offre une vision unique de l'évolution de la technologie et de son impact sur l'humanité. L'auteur affirme que le concept moderne de volonté, qui occupe une place centrale dans la pensée et la culture occidentales, est initialement vicieux et a conduit à un état actuel de désordre dans notre société. Elle affirme que ce manque est ancré dans le roman américain du XIXe siècle, qui décrit la volonté comme sujette à l'insuffisance et à l'excès, de l'indécision aux impulsions obsessionnelles et à l'inertie mélancolique. Grâce à une analyse détaillée d'œuvres telles que Moby-Dick, La ttre Rouge et Cerveau de la Tradition, Fleissner montre comment la grandeur et la perversion de la volonté ont été représentées dans ces romans, souvent en se combinant ou en s'opposant à la puissance suprême, que ce soit Dieu, l'État, la société ou la vie elle-même. Fleissner affirme que l'idéal d'autodétermination autonome qui sous-tend la modernité repose sur une compréhension incomplète de la condition humaine. Au lieu de la raison ou du sentiment, elle suggère que la maladie de la volonté est la véritable base des prémisses modernes. Cette compréhension erronée a conduit à la médicalisation de nombreuses formes de comportement et à la remise en question du principe de la volonté populaire de la démocratie.

A través de un análisis detallado de obras como «Moby-Dick», «La letra escarlata» y «cerebro de la tradición», Fleissner muestra cómo la grandeza y perversidad de la voluntad fueron representadas en estas novelas, a menudo combinándose o contrastándose con el poder supremo, ya sea Dios, el Estado, la sociedad o la vida misma. Fleissner sostiene que el ideal de autodeterminación autónoma que subyace en la modernidad se basa en una comprensión incompleta de la condición humana.

Jennifer Fleissners Buch „Maladies of the Will: The American Novel and the Modernity Problem“ bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Entwicklung der Technologie und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Menschheit. Der Autor argumentiert, dass das moderne Konzept des Willens, das für das westliche Denken und die westliche Kultur von zentraler Bedeutung ist, zunächst fehlerhaft ist und zu einem aktuellen Zustand der Unordnung in unserer Gesellschaft geführt hat. e argumentiert, dass dieser Mangel in einem amerikanischen Roman des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts verwurzelt ist, der den Willen als anfällig für Unzulänglichkeit und Übermaß darstellt, von Unentschlossenheit über Zwangsimpulse bis hin zu melancholischer Trägheit. Durch eine detaillierte Analyse von Werken wie „Moby-Dick“, „Der scharlachrote Buchstabe“ und „Das Gehirn der Tradition“ zeigt Fleissner, wie die Größe und Perversion des Willens in diesen Romanen dargestellt wurde, oft indem er sich selbst kombiniert oder sich einer höheren Macht gegenüberstellt, sei es Gott, Staat, Gesellschaft oder das ben selbst. Fleissner argumentiert, dass das Ideal der autonomen Selbstbestimmung, das der Moderne zugrunde liegt, auf einem unvollständigen Verständnis des menschlichen Zustands beruht. Statt Vernunft oder Gefühl setzt sie voraus, daß die Krankheiten des Willens die wahre Grundlage der modernen Voraussetzungen sind. Dieses Missverständnis führte zur Medikalisierung vieler Verhaltensweisen und zur Infragestellung des Prinzips des Volkswillens der Demokratie.

Jennifer Fleissner'in kitabı İrade Hastalıkları: Amerikan Romanı ve Modernite Sorunu, teknolojinin evrimi ve insanlık üzerindeki etkisi üzerine eşsiz bir bakış açısı sunuyor. Yazar, Batı düşüncesi ve kültürünün merkezinde yer alan modern irade kavramının doğası gereği kısır olduğunu ve toplumumuzdaki mevcut düzensizlik durumuna yol açtığını savunuyor. Bu eksikliğin, iradeyi, kararsızlıktan saplantılı dürtülere ve melankolik atalete kadar yetersizliğe ve aşırılığa eğilimli olarak tasvir eden on dokuzuncu yüzyıl Amerikan romanına dayandığını savunuyor. "Moby-Dick", "The Scarlet tter've" The Brain of Tradition'gibi eserlerin ayrıntılı analiziyle Fleissner, bu romanlarda iradenin büyüklüğünün ve sapkınlığının nasıl tasvir edildiğini, genellikle kendilerini birleştirerek ya da kendilerini Tanrı, devlet, toplum ya da yaşamın kendisi gibi daha yüksek bir güçle karşılaştırarak gösteriyor. Fleissner, modernitenin altında yatan özerk kendi kaderini tayin idealinin, insanlık durumunun eksik bir anlayışına dayandığını savunuyor. Akıl ya da duygu yerine, irade hastalıklarının modern öncüllerin gerçek temeli olduğunu öne sürüyor. Bu yanlış anlayış, birçok davranış biçiminin tıbbileştirilmesine ve demokrasinin halk iradesi ilkesinin sorgulanmasına yol açtı.
يقدم كتاب جينيفر فليسنر «أمراض الإرادة: الرواية الأمريكية ومشكلة الحداثة» منظورًا فريدًا لتطور التكنولوجيا وتأثيرها على البشرية. يجادل المؤلف بأن المفهوم الحديث للإرادة، وهو أمر أساسي للفكر والثقافة الغربية، شرس بطبيعته وأدى إلى حالة الفوضى الحالية في مجتمعنا. وتقول إن هذا النقص متجذر في الرواية الأمريكية في القرن التاسع عشر، والتي تصور الإرادة على أنها عرضة للقصور والإفراط، من التردد إلى الدوافع الوسواسية والجمود الحزين. من خلال التحليل التفصيلي لأعمال مثل «Moby-Dick» و «The Scarlet tter» و «The Brain of Tradition»، يُظهر فليسنر كيف تم تصوير عظمة الإرادة وانحرافها في هذه الروايات، وغالبًا ما يجمعان بين نفسيهما أو يقارنان أنفسهم بقوة أعلى، سواء كان الله أو الدولة أو المجتمع أو الحياة نفسها. يجادل فليسنر بأن المثل الأعلى لتقرير المصير المستقل الكامن وراء الحداثة يقوم على فهم غير كامل للحالة الإنسانية. بدلاً من العقل أو الشعور، تقترح أن أمراض الإرادة هي الأساس الحقيقي للمباني الحديثة. أدى هذا الفهم الخاطئ إلى إضفاء الطابع الطبي على العديد من أشكال السلوك والتشكيك في مبدأ الإرادة الشعبية للديمقراطية.
