Publisher's Synopsis
Coleridge's Aids to Reflection is a philosophical work that was first published in 1825. The book is a collection of aphorisms, or short philosophical statements, that explore the nature of reality, consciousness, and the human condition. The work is divided into four sections, each of which addresses a different aspect of philosophical inquiry. The first section examines the nature of language and its relationship to thought, while the second section explores the nature of consciousness and the relationship between the mind and the body. The third section focuses on the nature of morality and the role of religion in human life, while the final section examines the nature of beauty and the role of art in human experience. Throughout the work, Coleridge draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schelling, and Emanuel Swedenborg. This edition of Aids to Reflection includes the author's last corrections, which were made in 1839, as well as an introduction by the editor, Henry Nelson Coleridge, who was the author's nephew.To Which Is Prefixed A Preliminary Essay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
