Summary: "Critical Miscellanies (Vol 2 of 3), Essay 1: Vauvenargues" by John Morley is a critical essay published in the early 20th century that examines the life and contributions of the French moralist and philosopher, Luc de Clapiers, Marquis de Vauvenargues. This book can be categorized as a philosophical essay and offers insights into the intellectual landscape of the 18th century, particularly in relation to Vauvenargues' reflections on human nature and virtue. In this essay, Morley explores Vauvenargues' life, upbringing, and his philosophical stance, which serves as a balanced reaction against the more pessimistic views of contemporaries like Pascal and Rochefoucauld. Vauvenargues’ assertions emphasize the importance of character and virtuous instincts over reason, positing that true morality arises naturally rather than through forced asceticism or strict rationalism. The work reflects Morley’s admiration for Vauvenargues’ ability to reconcile human imperfections with psychological understanding, advocating for a compassionate perception of human nature grounded in real-life experiences. The essay encapsulates Vauvenargues’ belief in maintaining moral integrity amidst the complexities of life, shedding light on his enduring relevance in moral philosophy.
