Evolving over a series of discourses which the book considers at length Scottish Enlightenment political economy, penal and educational reform debates, literature, British and German aesthetic theory, social philosophy this debate precipitates the growth of a 'British idealism' in these decades. Exploring the thought of Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, Friedrich Schiller, William Cowper, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Wollstonecraft, and many of their contemporaries, this study analyses the chain of events that leads to this 'British idealism', and considers its social and political consequences in the cultural theory of the first decades of the nineteenth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
