Abstract
-
The ideologies of a large group of enlightened thinkers during the Eighteenth Century in France, Austria, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, were mainly anticlerical.;France led the movement, and Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, and many others became symbols of impassioned opposition to the church. One sector of the clergy joined the philosophes, by questioning the validity of the Pope's authority. They supported their monarchs' struggles to gain control over the secular business of the Church. This Group was called Jansenist, by those who opposed their views. In Spain, Jovellanos was part of this anticlerical movement, and the present study deals with Jovellanos's anticlerical thoughts and actions.;In the course of the organization of the materials, we deal first with the definitions of clericalism and anticlericalism. The study presents the varieties of anticlericalism as they flourished during the Eighteenth Century. Next, it describes the ideologies of the French free-thinkers: Voltaire, Diderot, D'Alembert, and other encyclopedists.;This essay also offers a brief summary of the practical anticlericalism of the monarchs of Austria, Tuscany, Portugal, and Spain, aimed mainly at demanding a share of the episcopal wealth, and to limiting the number of clerics. There follows the study of the peculiar traits of Spanish anticlericalism as it developed among the Spanish progressives. Their orthodoxy emerges along with their concern for the economic and educational welfare of Spain. This study also shows that Spanish anticlericalism went under the names of Jansenism and Regalism.;The second portion of this dissertation presents Jovellanos's religiousness as it appears in his literary works. It shows the development of three aspects of religiousness: authentic, conventional, and pathetic. Then it concentrates on a study of Jovellanos's Regalism and Jansenism as demonstrated in his life's deeds.;The last section of this study focusses on Jovellanos's anticlerical ideas as expressed in his published works, especially in his Diarios, in El Reglamento de Calatrava, in his letters, and in La Ley Agraria.
