T. Coleridge's poetics. The author argues that the philosophical system endorsed by the Cambridge Platonist Ralph Cudworth significantly contributed to the genesis of Coleridge's concept of the symbol and its related symbolic knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e After an initial view on the different articulations the \u003ci\u003esymbol\u003c\/i\u003e acquired in Coleridge's theorizations over his career, the book reverts to the poet's formative years from 1795 to 1798, in order to reveal the roots of the concept.\u003cbr\u003e Apart from discussing Coleridge's direct readings of Cudworth's \u003ci\u003eThe True Intellectual System of the Universe\u003c\/i\u003e in the years 1795 and 1796, the author explores the reception of Cudworth's ideas in a number of philosophers', scientists', poets' and literary theorists' works of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries which were, in turn, read by the Romantic author. The study also provides new insights into Coleridge's lectures and poems in which the Coleridgean notion of symbol was born: \u003ci\u003eLectures on Revealed Religion\u003c\/i\u003e, The Destiny of Nations, Religious Musings and the Conversation Poems in the light of Cudworth's philosophical tenets.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043735896407,"sku":"9783039114726","price":104.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783039114726.jpg?v=1750959282","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/plastic-intellectual-breeze-the-contribution-of-ralph-cudworth-to-s-t-coleridges-early-poetics-of-the-symbol-9783039114726","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
