Sinossi

G.K. Chesterton's "William Blake" offers a penetrating examination of the visionary poet and artist's life and work, seamlessly intertwining biographical insight and literary critique. Written in Chesterton's signature style—marked by wit, paradox, and fervent appreciation—this exploration reveals Blake's profound influence on both art and literature. Chesterton places Blake within the turbulent socio-political context of the Romantic era, highlighting how the artist's rebellion against conventional norms shaped his innovative metaphysical ideas and artistic expressions. As a noted critic and biographer, Chesterton's insights are rooted in his own passionate engagement with faith, spirituality, and the imaginative realms often overlooked by contemporary society. His admiration for Blake burgeoned from his desire to explore the intersections between art, philosophy, and religion. Chesterton's fascination with the dichotomy of Blake's life—marked by both genius and obscurity—fuels this illuminating discourse, reflecting a lifelong preoccupation with the transcendent and the human experience. Readers interested in the intersections of art, mysticism, and social commentary will find Chesterton's "William Blake" an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This book not only serves as an introduction to Blake's work but also as a heartfelt tribute from one literary giant to another, encouraging readers to delve deeper into the nuances of their artistic identities.

    On Institutional Analysis

    Emile Durkheim

    Ranging from Durkheim's original lecture in sociology to an excerpt from the work incomplete at his death, these selections illuminate his multiple approaches to the crucial concept of social solidarity and the study of institutions as diverse as the law, morality, and the family. Durkheim's focus on social solidarity convinced him that sociology must investigate the way that individual behavior itself is the product of social forces. As these writings make clear, Durkheim pursued his powerful model of sociology through many fields, eventually synthesizing both materialist and idealist viewpoints into his functionalist model of society.
