FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This text reassesses the much maligned and misunderstood notion of organic unity. Following organicism from its crucial radicalization in German Idealism, it shows how both Coleridge and Wordsworth developed some of their most profound ideas and poetry on its basis. Charles Armstrong shows how the tenets and ideals of organicism despite much criticism remain an insistent, if ambivalent, backdrop for much of our contemporary thought, including the work of Derrida amongst others.
