Book Description
Excerpt from A New System of Geology: In Which the Great Revolutions of the Earth and Animated Nature, Are Reconciled at Once to Modern Science and Sacred History The author does not profess, in the following pages, to fur nish the geological proficient, with descriptions of new forms of mountain rock, or mineral superposition; nor, had he pos sessed any such store of original observation, would he have deemed this the fitting occasion to display it. His leading object has been to distribute the most interesting and best established truths, illustrative of the structure and revola tions of the earth, in the order of their physical connexions and causes; whence certain general inductions might be legitimately seen to ow. In executing this task he has drawn freely from every authentic source of geological knowledge within his reach - careful merely to quote his authorities, and to acknowledge his obligations; without descending to such minuteness of reference as might savour of pedantry. He has honestly endeavoured to seek the proper end of philosophy, by arranging multifarious and seemingly dis cordant facts, into a chain of natural links; an object which, if even partially gained, will constitute the chief novelty, and recommendation of his work.

Literature and Truth
Author: Richard Lansdown
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004356851
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In Literature and Truth Richard Lansdown continues a discussion concerning the truth-bearing status of imaginative literature that pre-dates Plato. The book opens with a general survey of contemporary approaches in philosophical aesthetics, and a discussion of the contribution to the question made by British philosopher R. G. Collingwood in particular, in his Speculum Mentis. It then offers six case-studies from the Romantic era to the contemporary one as to how imaginative authors have variously dealt with bodies of discursive thought such as Stoicism, Christianity, evolution, humanism, and socialism. It concludes with a reading going in the other direction, in which the diary of Bronislaw Malinowski is seen in terms of the anthropologist’s reading habits during his legendary Trobriander fieldwork.
