• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Francois Hemsterhuis (1721-90) was a Dutch thinker of aesthetics and moral philosophy. He was hugely influential on the French Enlightenment, German Idealism and German Romanticism, but his works have been largely overlooked in English-language scholarship until now. This collection translates Hemsterhuis' 'Sophylus', 'Aristeaus', 'Simon' and 'Alexis' dialogues into English for the first time, together with full scholarly apparatus and commentary. The volume includes two introductory essays by Daniel Whistler (on Hemsterhuis' relationship with Amelia Gallitzin) and Laure Cahen-Maurel (on the transmission and influence of these dialogues).
