Because doubt was, in the period we call the Renaissance, a theological problem, a political danger, an engine of scientific inquiry, a philosophical discipline, a psychological burden, and an insidious pleasure, there is a considerable body of literature that excites doubt and is excited by it. We will pay special attention to the use of doubt in Early Modern philosophical texts and to the exhilirations of doubt in the theater. Satisfies the Early Modern requirement.
