When authors have focused on politics in Swift’s writings, this has usually meant a study of how Swift located himself on issues of his day such as church and state, and Ireland. Robertson claims by contrast that .Gulliver’s Travels. is fundamentally a book about the “ancients” (e.g. Plato, Aristotle), and the “moderns” (science and technology), and their contrasting views about the human condition. The claim that the .Travels. is “a kind of prolegomena” to political philosophy leaves open the possibility that it does not achieve, or seek to achieve, a fusion of various teachings but rather uses the device of alien societies to point us to uncomfortable aspects of political philosophy’s “larger questions” we are prone to ignore. Swift, Robertson argues, draws our attention to some version of the classical republic, as idealized in Aristotle’s political writings andin Plato’s .Republic., as opposed to a modern regime which, at its best or most intellectual, emphasizes modern science and technology in combination as a way to improve the human condition.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Gulliver‘s Travels; Jonathan Swift; politics; four voyages; morality; ethics; Anglicanism; ancients; moderns | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-98853-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-98855-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-98853-1Series ISSN 2524-7166 Series E-ISSN 2524-7174 | | issn_series | 2524-7166 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
