Shelley's Intellectual System and its Epicurean Background

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Such a fusion is the distinguishing mark of the work of Sir William Drummond, the only contemporary philosopher that Shelley consistently praised. This is the tradition within which Shelley ultimately stands - one that brings into balance what is given to the mind a priori and what the mind creates.

---

Presenting a new interpretation of Shelley's thinking, this study establishes Shelley as working in the Epicurean tradition by exploring Lucretius' De Rerum Naturaas.
