概要

論文の詳細を見る
Within a Christian society, excesses in knowledge and creation were regarded and strictly excluded as partaking of the sin of pride. Seventeenth-century intellectuals and their followers, however, in pursuit of rational thinking, tried to expand the boundaries of human knowledge and creation in the areas of art and science. In this context, Shelley's liberation of his Prometheus is taken as a symbolic affirmation of the liberation of human possibilities. This paper clarifies the changing conception towards human creation and the sin of transgression through a close examination of Shelley's works.
