Reconcilable Differences in Eighteenth-century English LiteratureUniversity of Delaware Press, 1999 - 230 páginas Swift, Gay, Pope, Radcliffe, and Austen confronted the question of what if nature, and the people who inhabit it, are strictly perceptual? The introduction describes the atomic perceptualism of Berkeley and Hume as a literary challenge. Subsequent chapters show how these authors, in turn, represented and resolved it. Piper also indicates a development in English literary history away from the materialism of Bacon and Hobbes toward the concern of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume with experience. |
