Lengel is editor-in-chief of the Washington Papers Project and a professor of history at the University of Virginia. As some exalted Washington, others sought to bring him down to the earth, thus creating a series of competing mythologies that depicted Washington as every imaginable sort of human being. The public Washington evolved into an eternal symbol as the "Father of His Country," while the private man remained at the periphery of the national vision for successive generations. Lengel shows how the late president and war hero continued to serve his nation on two distinct levels.

Early in his adulthood, an expedition arrived in his secluded jungle domain and brought the beautiful Jane Porter into his life. Adopted into a tribe of Mangani, or great apes, and reared by a kindly she named Kala, young John overcame the brutal challenges of the African wilderness to become Tarzan of the Apes, Lord of the Jungle. Marooned on the coast of western Africa in 1888, John and Alice Clayton, Lord and Lady Greystoke, perished in the savage jungle, but not before welcoming a son into the world. Within his third critique, the ‘Critique of Judgment,’ Kant explicates, through a priori justification, three kinds of aesthetic judgments the agreeable, the beautiful and the sublime. I will argue, whilst critically assessing both The First and Second Moments, three objections to Kant’s aesthetics that his account of beauty separate from interest is unconvincing, that beauty can never be known to be universal, and finally, that his account of beauty focuses exclusively on positive judgments. Immanuel Kant famously states within his ‘Critique of Judgment,’ “Beautiful is what, without concept, is liked universally.” His claim is that judgments of taste, especially those of the beautiful or sublime, can be differentiated from judgments of cognition or the agreeable, through notions of disinterest, and subjective universality.

Future installments will be eagerly anticipated by Regency readers." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Intelligent, affable characters make this fast-paced novel shine, especially for fans of clever women and the men who sincerely admire them. "Bateman's scintillating first Bow Street Bachelors Regency is full of intense emotions and dramatic twists. Taste is a word that is off limits when it comes to art. Today, however, we rarely speak of someone having good taste. And he suggested that certain people were in a position to judge what was in good taste: those who had “delicate sentiment, improved by practice” could decide, “the true standard of taste and beauty”. There is a basis for good taste, Hume concluded, which is our feelings, our response to the art work. One: that people disagree about what is good and bad art, and two: that we can agree that some art works are understood to be the greatest achievements of humankind. Hume was trying to resolve two apparently contradictory observations. “It is natural for us to seek a Standard of Taste,” wrote the Scottish philosopher David Hume in 1757, “a rule by which the various sentiments of men may be reconciled at least, a decision, afforded, confirming one sentiment, and condemning another.” His book-length essay includes discussions of all aspects of Italian civilization: the art, fashion, literature, and music of the time, as well as the flourishing intellectual and spiritual life. It also inspired a popular fascination with the Renaissance period in the early 1900s. All these, Burckhardt explains, went hand in hand with the explorations of science and contributed to the more naturalistic depiction of the world in art and literature. His masterwork, Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy (1860), shaped the direction of Renaissance studies for generations. In this landmark study of Italy from the fourteenth through the early sixteenth century, Burckhardt chronicles the rise of Florence and Venice as powerful city-states, the breakup of the medieval worldview that came with the rediscovery of Greek and Roman culture, and the new emphasis on the role of the individual. Within the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt finds the first stirrings of the modern world-and in the Renaissance Italian, the first modern man. This great work redefined our sense of the European past, wholly reinterpreting what has since been known simply as the Italian Renaissance. |
