In doing so, Sugimura uses \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/i\u003e as a fascinating window into the intersection of literature and philosophy, and of literary studies and intellectual history. Sugimura finds that Milton displays a tense and ambiguous relationship with the idealistic dualism of Plato and the materialism of Aristotle and she argues for a more nuanced interpretation of Milton's metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noel Sugimura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300135599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300135596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/23\/2009 pg. 20","brand":"Noel Sugimura","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435349487871,"sku":"9780300135596","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d74fc2c2-a4f0-4ca0-ad05-a90d0375e3a6.jpg?v=1777149823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matter-of-glorious-trial-noel-sugimura-9780300135596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
