Synopsis
Excerpt from Thomas Hardy's Universe: A Study of a Poet's Mind
Without criticizing Hardy's philosophy as one would criticize, say, Spinoza's, conceiving it as a system really warranted to lift the burthen of the mystery, dissecting it, and examining each detail with the bright and merciless instruments of a rigid induction and deduction, one may without great qualms yield to the temptation of observing, broadly, how the tentative and unadjusted scheme of the greatest living English poet fits in with those of such thinkers, also vocal to tragedy, who have chosen to eschew imaginative writing and to expose their attitudes more strictly in accordance with the laws of logic.
If, i'ndeed, one may attempt to come to grips with the intellectual content of Hardy (and surely one may l - a more exhilarating mental sport can scarcely be imagined), it is as impossible to succeed in such an attempt without indicating parallelisms from philosophers as it is to discuss his art without pointing out literary parallels. In particular, it is quite impossible, from the first, to ignore Schopen hauer, - and before one has proceeded very far, Schopenhauer is found to have usurped practically the whole discussion.

Thomas Hardy's Universe: A Study of a Poet's Mind (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the philosophical underpinnings of a renowned literary figure, revealing the profound influence of a major philosophical thinker on their work. The author delves into the evolution of the literary figure's worldview, tracing how their early concepts of chance and circumstance gradually give way to a more deterministic view of the universe. The book highlights the parallel between the literary figure's artistic vision and the philosophical system of Arthur Schopenhauer, particularly focusing on the concept of the "Will" as the driving force behind all existence. This exploration delves into the implications of Schopenhauer's philosophy, particularly his ideas on the nature of consciousness, the role of will in the universe, and the inherent pessimism of life. The book's insights offer a fresh perspective on the work of the literary figure, illuminating the philosophical and thematic depth behind their artistic creations. Through a careful analysis of the literary figure's writings, the book reveals how their artistic vision is inextricably linked to their underlying philosophical beliefs.
