Description: Knowledge and Indifference in English Romantic Prose by Tim Milnes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This ambitious study sheds new light on the way the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge. Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth-century to respond to empirical scepticism had produced a culture of "indifferentism." Tim Milnes explores the tension between this epistemic indifference and a perpetual compulsion to know. The tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action, and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. Publisher Description This ambitious study sheds new light on the way in which the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge, particularly as they inherited them from the philosopher David Hume. Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth-century to answer empirical scepticism had produced a culture of indifferentism. Tim Milnes explores the way in which Romantic writers extended this epistemic indifference through their resistance to argumentation, and finds that it exists in a perpetual state of tension with a compulsion to know. This tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworths Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitts Essay on the Principles of Human Action, and Coleridges Biographia Literaria. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy. Author Biography Tim Milnes is lecturer in English at the University of Edinburgh. He has published articles in Journal of the History of Ideas, Comparative Literature, Studies in Romanticism and European Romantic Review.
