Jonathan Swift and Philosophy is the first book to analyse and interpret Swift’s writing from a philosophical angle. By placing key texts of Swift in their philosophical and cultural contexts and providing background to their history of ideas, it demonstrates how well informed Swift’s criticism of the politics, philosophy, and science of his age actually was. Moreover, it also sets straight preconceptions about Swift as ignorant about the scientific developments of his time. This book will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, history of ideas, and 18th century literature and culture. This book explores the rich philosophical content of the writings of Jonathan Swift. It discusses these philosophical topics against their ideengeschichtliche background and demonstrates that Swift’s work offers starting points for philosophical reflection that are still topical today.

Recenzijos

This fascinating collection testifies to Swifts important place in the history of ideas, despite him once joking that all notions too abstracted / Are like the ravings of a crackt head. These provocative and lucidly-written essays range across the Swift canon, positioning his works in intense dialogue with other key Enlightenment thinkers on issues of ethics, science and politics. Yet, most significantly, Jonathan Swift and Philosophy reveals to us an enduring writer whose works speak profoundly to the debates of today. -- Greg Lynall, University of Liverpool This volume produces a deeper appreciation of Swift while shedding light on philosophers like Locke and Plato. No mere battle of the books, its reason versus emotion, and cynicism versus satire. Debating it all is no mean task or modest proposal. -- William Irwin, King's College, Pennsylvania The best authors teach us about ourselves by telling us stories about other people. And Jonathan Swift is one of the best. Through his tales, his wit, and his irony, we learn about our world (science), ourselves (ethics), and our relationships to other people (politics). Each section of this book explores one of these elements of our lives through philosophical analyses of Swifts works. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation for their own world by exploring the rich philosophical landscapes of Swifts. -- Jacob Held, University of Central Arkansas
