Author: Samuel Johnson’s Pragmatism and Imagination
Author: Stefka RitchiePublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527521095
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The central theme of this book is an under-studied link between the canon of Francis Bacon’s and Isaac Newton’s scientific and philosophical thought and Samuel Johnson’s critical approach that can be traced in a textual study of his literary works. The interpretive framework adopted here encourages familiarity with the history and philosophy of science, confirming that the history of ideas is an entirely human construct that constitutes an integral part of intellectual history. This further endorses the argument that intermediality can only be of benefit to future research into the richness of Johnson’s literary style. As perceived boundaries are crossed between conventionally distinct communication media, the profile of Johnson that emerges is of a writer of passionate intelligence who was able to combine a pragmatic approach to knowledge with flights of imagination as a true artist.

Pages : 172
Book Description
The long and acrimonious exchange of pamphlets, which surrounded publication of Richard Woodward's Present State of the Church ofIreland in December 1786 has attracted a good deal of comment from historians interested in the Whiteboys, resistance to tithes and interdenominational relations in Ireland. Emphasising the importance of theoretical reflexivity in critical practice, W.J. Mc Cormack goes beyond commentary to establish a full and annotated list of the publications involved. His bibliographical research is carefully placed wihin a wider context of interpretation, drawing on Anglo-American linguistic philosophy, German critical theoty and Begriffsgeschichte, and the findings of fellow Irish researchers.
