Critiquing Society through In Praise of Folly

It might seem strange to admire foolish criticism about social praise by stupidity, but stupidity has one advantage. Freedom to say the truth. In honor of foolishness, Erasmus reminded his readers that with this freedom, a society defiled by secular concerns can not serve God and Mammon at the same time. He believes "There is a merit for a foolish attack", calm the irony (7), and finally "This is a woman who is silly and talking" (134), which is a disclaimer. Disclaimer that he needs to criticize him as tough.

Foolish self expresses criticisms of church and priests with silly praise, but as it can be seen from the communication between Erasmus and the Leuven theologian Martin Dopp, it causes hatred of theologians. Among the letters from September 1514, Dorp has hostile reactions of professional theologians against Moriae Encomium and their work in Erasmus' new project for editing the New Testament, which began to spread mainly for Ira I confirmed my understanding.

The book "The Folise Of Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus was written around 1509 and is watching the life of England through "stupid" eyes. Erasmus' books are sarcastic and sometimes mockery, especially his view on passion and desire. Erasmus stated that everyone has a desire for evil ability and evil things. By "praising stupidity" Erasmus said that two types of insanity are desirable with a very ironic tone; one of them is "desire of war, or desire after gold, or dishonesty Love, ignorance, incest incest, blasphemy ("singer's song"). Erasmus said this "madness", "craving" is desirable because it is desirable not only to love comfortably but also to strengthen it, not only to strengthen it but to praise it (praise stupidity) Said. In this case, the author is outright and ironic. For he says that anyone who is willing to succumb to any form of desire will be consumed by this desire.
