These essays explore Hill's struggle over fifty years with the recalcitrance of language. This book seeks to show how all his work is marked by the quest for the right pitch of utterance whether it is sorrowing, angry, satiric or erotic. It shows how Hill's words are never lightly 'acceptable' but an ethical act, how he seeks out words he can stand by - words that are 'getting it right'.This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date critical work on Geoffrey Hill so far, covering all his work up to 'Scenes from LiteraturemupLiterary Studies: Poetry & PoetsbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshbisachIrelandthemaGeoffrey Hill.Scenes from Comus.language.pitch.poems.poetry.recalcitrance.satiric.sorrowing.utterance.LiteratureLiterary Studies: Poetry & PoetsLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshIreland821.914Wainwright Jeffrey1645555UkMaJRUBOOK9910826075303321Acceptable words3992097UNINA02589nam 22005653u 450 991081541210332120240405165837.0978661292155197816026839731-282-92155-X1-902683-98-61-315-71047-11-84465-354-41-317-48905-5(CKB)2670000000587809(EBL)1900144(OCoLC)1187225946(FINmELB)ELB135947(MiAaPQ)EBC1900144(MiAaPQ)EBC5268618(EXLCZ)99267000000058780920141229d2014|||| u|| |engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAction[electronic resource]Hoboken Taylor and Francis2014London ;New York :Routledge,2005.1 online resource (174 p.)Central Problems of PhilosophyDescription based upon print version of record.1-322-50921-2 1-902683-97-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Half Title; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction: inward-looking and outward-looking approaches to agency; 2 Acting for a reason; 3 Reasons and passions; 4 Agent causation; 5 Mental causation; 6 Deviant causal chains and causal processes; 7 Acting with an intention; 8 Prior intention; 9 The metaphysics of action; Conclusion; Notes; Suggestions for further reading; References; IndexThe traditional focus of debate in philosophy of action has been the causal theory of action and metaphysical questions about the nature of actions as events. In this lucid and lively introduction to philosophy of action, Rowland Stout shows how these issues are subsidiary to more central ones that concern the freedom of the will, practical rationality and moral psychology.
