Abstract
Abstract:This article proposes that the temporality of Jonathan Edwards’s aesthetic projection of himself as simultaneously godly and depraved provides an alternative model of early American selfhood from the secular capitalist paradigm of Benjamin Franklin, championed by Max Weber and perpetuated by Charles Taylor’s account of secular time-consciousness in A Secular Age.Résumé:Cet article propose que la temporalité de la projection esthétique que Jonathan Edwards a fait de lui-même en tant que simultanément divin et dépravé fournit un modèle du début de l’individualité américaine différent du paradigme capitaliste séculier de Benjamin Franklin, soutenu par Max Weber et perpétué par Charles Taylor dans son livre A Secular Age sur la conscience temporelle du séculier.
