The Science of Sensibility: Reading Burke's Philosophical Enquiry

The Science of Sensibility: Reading Burke's Philosophical Enquiry

Koen Vermeir
5/5 ( ratings)
Attracting philosophers, politicians, artists as well as the educated reader, Edmund Burke s "Philosophical Enquiry," first published in 1757, was a milestone in western thinking. This edited volume will take the 250th anniversary of the "Philosophical Enquiry "as an occasion to reassess Burke s prominence in the history of ideas. Situated on the threshold between early modern philosophy and the Enlightenment, Burke s oeuvre combines reflections on aesthetics, politics and the sciences. This collection is the first book length work devoted primarily to Burke s "Philosophical Enquiry" in both its historical context and for its contemporary relevance. It will establish the fact that the "Enquiry" is an important philosophical and literary work in its own right."
