Attack medieval asceticism and express appreciation for worldly pleasure as a legitimate need and aim of human nature. A letter from Gargantua to Pantagruel Now all the disciplines have been restored, languages revived: Greek, without which it is shameful for a person to call himself learned…Elegant and correct printed editions are available…The world is full of learned men, fine teachers, ample libraries… …All their life was regulated not by laws, or rules, but according to their free will and pleasure. They rose from bed when they pleased, and drank, ate, worked, and slept when the fancy seized them. Nobody woke them; nobody compelled them to either eat or to drink, or to do anything else whatsoever. So it was that Gargantua had established it.
