In mid-eighteenth-century Europe, a taste for sentiment accompanied the 'rise of the novel', and the success of Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) played a vital role in this. James Fowler's new study is the first to compare the response of the most famous philosophes to the Richardson phenomenon. Voltaire, who claims to despise the novel, writes four 'Richardsonian' fictions; Diderot's fascination with the English author is expressed in La Religieuse, Rousseau's in Julie - the century's bestseller. Yet the philosophes' response remains ambivalent. On the one hand they admire Richardson's ability to make the reader weep. On the other, they champion a range of Enlightenment beliefs which he, an enthusiast of Milton, vehemently opposed. In death as in life, the English author exacerbates the philosophes' rivalry. The eulogy which Diderot writes in 1761 implicitly asks: who can write a new Clarissa? But also: whose social, philosophical or political ideas will triumph as a result?

"This book, one of the most frequently cited works on Martin Heidegger in any language, belongs on any short list of classic studies of Continental philosophy. William J. Richardson explores the famous turn (Kehre) in Heidegger's thought after Being in Time and demonstrates how this transformation was radical without amounting to a simple contradiction of his earlier views. In a full account of the evolution of Heidegger's work as a whole, Richardson provides a detailed, systematic, and illuminating account of both divergences and fundamental continuities in Heidegger's philosophy, especially in light of recently published works. He demonstrates that the "thinking" of Being for the later Heidegger has exactly the same configuration as the radical phenomenology of the early Heidegger, once he has passed through the "turning" of his way." Including as a preface the letter that Heidegger wrote to Richardson and a new writer's preface and epilogue."--Amazon.com.

This book explores the reciprocal influence of friendship ideals and narrative forms in eighteenth-century British fiction. It examines how various novelists, from Samuel Richardson to Mary Shelley, drew upon classical and early modern conceptions of true amity as a model of collaborative pedagogy. Analyzing authors, their professional circumstances, and their audiences, the study shows how the rhetoric of friendship became a means of paying deference to the increasing power of readerships, while it also served as a semi-covert means to persuade resistant readers and confront aesthetic and moral debates head on. The study contributes to an understanding of gender roles in the early history of the novel by disclosing the constant interplay between male and female models of amity. It demonstrates that this gendered dialogue shaped the way novelists imagined character interiority, reconciled with the commercial aspects of writing, and engaged mixed-sex audiences.

The original summary to this volume of work was necessarily changed by the events of July 13, 2024. Seemingly another "lone gunman" maneuvers his way through dozens of highly trained government law enforcement and intelligence professionals, postures himself some 130 yards away from his intended target, former US President Donald Trump, fires at least six shots, and strikes him in the ear--Trump amazingly escaping an ugly death. The "deep state" is now quickly circling the wagons, trying to control the narrative before anyone can connect and make public the proverbial dots. The recent Congressional hearings again show the intentional malfeasance on the part of our leading officials, displaying their hatred and arrogance for the American people. The circus would be laughable if our situation were not so serious; the sheer level of evil that resides within their hearts and minds is truly remarkable. They will stop at nothing to bring all the nations into that single world government detailed in the Bible. Make no mistake, America, should these people not be expeditiously removed from their positions of power, more destruction will befall us. It is at this time and place where Christian-tenets must prevail. It is in this time where it is for all the marbles. From our political birth until today, our enemies have been within us. Thomas Jefferson labeled this cabalistic group as, "designing men." He made clear that education and morality were necessary keys to maintaining our liberty; if education and morality remained close to the hearts and minds of the citizenry, then we would pick good leaders; and, that we must train up each generation to be aware of "what is going on in the world" to check the tyranny being imposed. Just since the 1960's, Americans have given up their very lives to expose the real dangers to our republic--men influenced and owned by evil, belonging to secret societies and taking secret oaths. Like President John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy, and so many other lesser-known patriots, Donald Trump has called them out. He is now squarely in their literal crosshairs. But their failure to kill him has awakened many citizens and the annals of history will show John Adams quite correct: "the Wars of the Reformation Still go on." The developed written record given us by many biographers and historians is a shameful propaganda campaign. But truth is moving itself into the light; "designing men" of academia too are being exposed. Chief Justice John Marshall, heralded by legal scholars across the spectrum, led a rogue judiciary; Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, also praised within the written record, headed a rogue legislature; and President Andrew Jackson, a man that Jefferson thought unfit for public office, proved a despot to the constitution. Indeed, these men worked tirelessly to lay the foundations for a consolidated and tyrannical government, bringing us to the point we have arrived today. Let the truths displayed within these pages be known to the ends of the earth.

The Books That Made The European Enlightenment written by Gary Kates and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-08-11 with History categories.

In contrast to traditional Enlightenment studies that focus solely on authors and ideas, Gary Kates' employs a literary lens to offer a wholly original history of the period in Europe from 1699 to 1780. Each chapter is a biography of a book which tells the story of the text from its inception through to the revolutionary era, with wider aspects of the Enlightenment era being revealed through the narrative of the book's publication and reception. Here, Kates joins new approaches to book history with more traditional intellectual history by treating authors, publishers, and readers in a balanced fashion throughout. Using a unique database of 18th-century editions representing 5,000 titles, the book looks at the multifaceted significance of bestsellers from the time. It analyses key works by Voltaire, Adam Smith, Madame de Graffigny, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume and champions the importance of a crucial innovation of the age: the rise of the 'erudite blockbuster', which for the first time in European history, helped to popularize political theory among a large portion of the middling classes. Kates also highlights how, when, and why some of these books were read in the European colonies, as well as incorporating the responses of both ordinary men and women as part of the reception histories that are so integral to the volume.

Martin Heidegger is one of the twentieth century’s most influential, but also most cryptic and controversial philosophers. His early fusion of phenomenology with existentialism inspired Sartre and many others, and his later critique of modern rationality inspired Derrida and still others. This introduction covers the whole of Heidegger’s thought and is ideal for anyone coming to his work for the first time. John Richardson centres his account on Heidegger’s persistent effort to change the very kind of understanding or truth we seek. Beginning with an overview of Heidegger’s life and work, he sketches the development of Heidegger’s thought up to the publication of Being and Time. He shows how that book takes up Husserl’s method of phenomenology and adapts it. He then introduces and assesses the key arguments of Being and Time under three headings—pragmatism, existentialism, and temporality—its three levels of analysis of human experience. Subsequent chapters introduce Heidegger’s later philosophy, including his turn towards a historical account of being, and new ideas about how we need to ‘think’ to get the truth about it; his influential writings on language, art, and poetry, and their role in the Western history of being; and his claim that this history has culminated in a technological relation to things that is deeply problematic, above all in the way it excludes the divine. The final chapter looks at Heidegger’s profound influence on several intellectual movements ranging from phenomenology to existentialism to postmodernism. A much-needed and refreshing introduction to this major figure, Heidegger is ideal reading for anyone coming to his work for the first time and will interest and stimulate students and scholars alike.
