Copernicus, Darwin and Freud: Revolutions in the History and Philosophy of Science
Using Copernicanism, Darwinism, and Freudianism as examples of scientific traditions, Copernicus, Darwin and Freud takes a philosophical look at these three revolutions in thought to illustrate the connections between science and philosophy. • Shows how these revolutions in thought lead to philosophical consequences
This poem marks the beginning of T.S. Eliot's career as one of the twentieth century's most influential poets. As it shows only surface thought and images, it is considered difficult to interpret exactly what is going on in the poem.
These studies, thrown into the form of eight lectures, deal with those phases and currents in the life and philosophy of Matthew Arnold which determined his religious creed and gave the final drift to his poetry. Good poetry ought to be taken seriously and analytically. Now, true poetry is one of the subtlest mediums for influencing thought and belief, and its aesthetic appeal is only secondary. The theology in Arnold's prose and poetry is essentially the same, otherwise he would be no true poet; and the theology in both is extraordinarily warped and defective.
