Sinossi

In "The Case of Richard Meynell," Mrs. Humphry Ward delves into the complex interplay between personal integrity and societal expectations, crafting a narrative rich in psychological depth and moral inquiry. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the novel employs a meticulous prose style that balances intricate character development with incisive social commentary, reflecting the tension between traditional values and emerging modernist thoughts. The tale follows the titular character, Richard Meynell, whose struggle for truth and authenticity propels the narrative, inviting readers to ponder the weight of individual responsibility within a rapidly changing world. Humphry Ward, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature and a key member of the literary and intellectual elite, had long been an advocate for social reform and women's rights. Her extensive background, stemming from a well-educated Victorian family and immersion in progressive social movements, profoundly influenced her exploration of themes such as ethics, faith, and the nuances of human relationships in "The Case of Richard Meynell." Moreover, her experiences as a wife and mother added layers of personal insight to her portrayals of men and women navigating societal pressures. This compelling work is recommended for readers who appreciate richly drawn characters and thought-provoking themes. Ward's exploration of the human condition, imbued with a sense of urgency and moral challenge, offers a profound experience that resonates deeply with contemporary discussions on integrity and societal obligations. A must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature, ethics, and socio-political contexts.

Popular Works Volume 2 - The...

Johann Gottleib Fitche

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb’s exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. That fact that he is placed between Kant and Hegel, yet still retains a significant and individual presence, says much about his work and personality. He became known, especially, for initiating the concept of ‘German idealism’ (linked with Romanticism and the revolutionary politics which emerged after the Enlightenment). In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged.

There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte’s important work appeared initially in lectures.

The Characteristics of the Present Age, (1806) consists of 17 lectures in which Fichte presents his ‘speculative philosophy of history’. The series opens with ‘The Idea of Universal History’ in which he ‘divides earthly life into 5 Principal Epochs.’ Against this overview of history and culture, (including the state, civil and political freedom, science and religion) he develops his thesis with particular reference to his ‘present age’ – the time of Voltaire, Rousseau on the one hand and Lessing, Kant and Goethe on the other.

In The Way Towards The Blessed Life or The Doctrine Of Religion (1806) (11 lectures) Fichte considers the relationship between established religion and his particular view on ‘transcendental’ philosophy. His opening statement is ‘Life is Love; and hence Life and Blessedness are in themselves one and the same.’ He continues by examine metaphysics, ontology, mysticism, actual and apparent life, Christianity, and his Doctrine of Being.

The final work in this anthology is Outlines of the Doctrine of Knowledge (1810). It is a concise exposition of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre’ but in its strictly scientific form. It had an unusual provenance in that it was printed by Fichte at the conclusion of lectures as a form of a memorandum with 14 short sections. It opens with the question: ‘How this Knowledge can come into being, and what it is in its inward and essential Nature?’
