520 _a"In Praise of Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus is an oration written in Latin in 1509. In this spiraling satirical work, the personified goddess Folly praises herself while attacking every aspect of human life—from lovers and princes to superstitious religious practices and church corruption. What begins as playful mockery grows darker as Erasmus examines self-deception, madness, and the contrast between human wisdom and divine folly. The work ultimately pivots toward an orthodox Christian purpose, revealing deeper meaning beneath its satirical surface. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
