La longue persévérance. Pour Marine Picon

Abstract

The history of the concept of perseverance, particularly but not only in the early modern age, is reconstructed here by identifying its various ancestry and lines of development, and especially by distinguishing from the religious notion a secular use and function of this virtue, with the intention of thus honoring the unwavering perseverance that characterized the late Leibnizian scholar Marine Picon.
