As the title indicates, this is the second volume to "Poems, Visions, Reflections", which is titled "IMPRESSIONS in PROSE and VERSE" Like its predecessor, the book includes a number of poems that accompany the main substance of the book. The prose is a combination of flashbacks to the author's post-war University years in Germany based on the diaries he kept during that time. The author engages in some remarks he titles "Philosophical-ethical sketches", numbered I to VI. The main text deals with some of his ideas regarding the fields of sciences such as physics and cosmology along with his own position regarding those, which he calls "transcendental" all of it wrapped in his usual "tongue-in-cheek" mode of writing.

Elements of Criticism
Author: Henry Home, Lord Kames
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513217267
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Elements of Criticism (1762) is a philosophical work by Henry Home, Lord Kames. Published at the height of his career as a leading legal and cultural figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, Elements of Criticism has been credited as a crucial academic work in the development of modern English literary studies. “The science of criticism tends to improve the heart not less than the understanding...A just taste in the fine arts, by sweetening and harmonizing the temper, is a strong antidote to the turbulence of passion and violence of pursuit. Elegance of taste procures to a man so much enjoyment at home, or easily within reach, that in order to be occupied, he is, in youth, under no temptation to precipitate into hunting, gaming, drinking; nor, in middle age, to deliver himself over to ambition; nor, in old age, to avarice.” Although he is largely unheard of today, Henry Home was an integral figure in the elevation of the art of literary criticism as a subject in universities around Britain and the world. His central thesis is that criticism itself stems from the senses and directly relates to humanity’s capacity for reason. Through art, Home believed, humanity could live both morally and in harmony with the natural world, thereby creating a civilization rooted in virtue and creativity. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Home, Lord Kames’ Elements of Criticism is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
