L’Orgueil, Péchés Capitaux, centre Georges Pompidou Paris (Book) very good condition, small creases. in French. Pride, deadly sins, by Jean-Louis Giovannoni, Jean-Didier Vincent.
Pride is a very advantageous opinion, most often exaggerated, that one has of one’s personal value. It is an absence of humility.
In the Catholic and Muslim religions, it designates a capital sin, that which gives the feeling of being more important and more deserving than the others, of owing nothing to anyone, which results in a contempt for others and the rest of creation and a rejection of divine mercy.
Conversely, pride can also be perceived by other cultures or civilizations as a virtue or an ideal. In this regard, we can cite the code of bushido in Japan, especially during the Edo era. La Rochefoucauld, in his maxims and reflections, considers that magnanimity is the “good sense of pride”. In Europe, the romantic period saw a form of artistic and literary fascination for the pride and the revolt which it can involve, as Albert Camus notes in his analyzes.
