Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth century to answer empirical scepticism had produced a culture of 'indifferentism'. Tim Milnes explores the way in which Romantic writers extended this epistemic indifference through their resistance to argumentation, and finds that it exists in a perpetual state of tension with a compulsion to know. This tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy.Cambridge studies in Romanticism ;55.English prose literature19th centuryHistory and criticismRomanticismGreat BritainKnowledge, Theory of, in literatureApathy in literatureEnglish prose literatureHistory and criticism.RomanticismKnowledge, Theory of, in literature.Apathy in literature.828/.709384Milnes Tim1719195MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827670103321Knowledge and indifference in English Romantic prose4116793UNINA
