Mill on Bentham and Coleridge

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of literature and liberal education, this volume aims to elevate the works of Bentham and Coleridge as essential classics for literary students. The author argues for a more rigorous approach to literary criticism, emphasizing its role as a discipline that extends beyond literature into broader fields of study. By advocating for a unified understanding of literature, life, and thought, the text critiques traditional academic practices that often reduce literary study to mere rote learning, urging a more integrated and profound educational experience.
