Описание:
When writers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries explored the implications of organic and emotional sensitivity, the pain of the body gave rise to unsettling but irresistible questions. Urged on by some of their most deeply felt preoccupations - and in the case of figures like Coleridge and P. B. Shelley, by their own experiences of chronic pain - many writers found themselves drawn to the imaginative scrutiny of bodies in extremis. Bodily Pain in Romantic Literature reveals the significance of physical hurt for the poetry, philosophy, and medicine of the Romantic period.
This study looks back to eighteenth-century medical controversies that made pain central to discussions about the nature of life, and forward to the birth of surgical anaesthesia in 1846. It examines why Jeremy Bentham wrote in defence of torture, and how pain sparked the imagination of thinkers from Adam Smith to the Marquis de Sade. Jeremy Davies brings to bear on Romantic studies the fascinating recent work in the medical humanities that offers a fresh understanding of bodily hurt, and shows how pain could prompt new ways of thinking about politics, ethics, and identity.
Описание: This book was written in order to assess the actual facts and truth within our current physical, medical and psychological scientific paradigms. While not exhaustive by any means, it may serve to pierce the sacrosanct and comfortable barrier of human preconception, and bring needed change. Although at times a bit too honest and plain, in the end, we may discover the truth in paradigm is a direction, a way of looking, with open eyes and a mind free of the pride which imagines the rude and impossible to be true: that we already know enough. Clearly, in this world of pollution, shortage, cruelty, mental imbalance, greed and war...but one thing is needful: Something New. The basis of human advancement and change is created as the bedrock of knowledge shifts. Truth is a direction of evolution, an ascending course which never rests, and from the most basic points of our long trusted theory upward, nothing is sacred. Hope is change. Evolution, truth is not certainty, but process--growth. As to every unshakable axiom and assumption -- let us imagine, anew. So are limits cast and broken. It is this which is: Truth in Paradigm.
