Resumo: In James’ work, there is an explicit reaction against Renan’s insincerity and vanity as the dominant moral tone. The way in which James judges Renan in particular, and the Latin spirit in general, is related to an early identification with the German spirit through his Protestant background. Within this framework, we will see that through Carlyle’s figure, James opposes the objective moral of work to Renan’s interior gnostic sensitivity. Since there exists an overt link between Carlyle and Calvinism, the component of Protestant ethics in James’ proposal becomes manifest. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to show that strenuous mood, as a characteristic of courage and manhood, has a Protestant tone.

O modo como James julga Renan em particular, e o espírito latino em geral, está relacionado a uma identificação inicial com o espírito germânico através de um contexto protestante. Dentro dessa estrutura, nós veremos que por meio da figura de Carlyle, James opõe-se à moral objetiva da obra para com a sensibilidade gnóstica interior de Renan. Visto que há uma conexão óbvia entre Carlyle e o Calvinismo, o componente da ética protestante na proposta de James torna-se manifesta. Consequentemente, o propósito deste artigo é mostrar que o humor extenuante, como uma característica de coragem e virilidade, possui um tom protestante.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2019-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/4087710.23925/2316-5278.2018v19i2p242-257Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2018); 242-257Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 19 n. 2 (2018); 242-2572316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
