Consisting primarily of fragments dictated to Joseph Henry Green, probably between 1819 and 1823, these writings represent all that exists of what Coleridge considered to be \"the principal Labour\" and \"the great Object\" of his life, which he called variously the \u003ci\u003eLogosophia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMagnum Opus\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dedicated to \"the reconcilement of the moral faith with the Reason,\" Coleridge's envisioned \u003ci\u003eMagnum Opus\u003c\/i\u003e was supposed to \"reduce all knowledges into harmony.\" While such a synthesis finally eluded him, and the \u003ci\u003eMagnum Opus\u003c\/i\u003e remained unfinished, the surviving fragments nonetheless bear powerful witness to Coleridge's engagement with theology, moral philosophy, natural philosophy, and logic, among other disciplines. Among the subjects that will particularly interest readers are Coleridge's criticisms of Epicureanism, pantheism, and German Naturphilosophie; his attempt to ground reason in faith; and his reflections on personhood (especially in the relationship between mother and child), on will, on language, and on the Logos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Previously unknown to all but a handful of scholars, the manuscripts presented here provide valuable insight into a crucial period of Coleridge's intellectual development, as he became increasingly dissatisfied with \u003ci\u003eNaturphilosophie\u003c\/i\u003e and struggled to affirm Trinitarian Christianity on a rational basis. With this volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge\u003c\/i\u003e, begun forty years ago under the sponsorship of the Bollingen Foundation and the editorship of the late Kathleen Coburn, is now complete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Taylor Coleridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691203164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691203164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.50d","brand":"Samuel Taylor Coleridge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450236596479,"sku":"9780691203164","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24efeeac-7136-400e-b647-6033496af6eb.jpg?v=1698503609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-collected-works-of-samuel-samuel-taylor-coleridge-9780691203164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
