Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the thought of the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and compares his philosophical approach to the world with that of Charles Darwin. It positions the author both within the Romantic philosophical tradition and as a unique voice in an era of great literary and scientific change. Concepts including the role of evil in society and nature are examined across Shelley's work, in particular his view that societal problems were caused by mankind's distance from nature, and his desire for a return to a more simple way of living. The text analyses how scientific developments such as Darwin's theory of evolution could have changed Shelley's views had he lived later and been exposed to them. The author concludes that, despite some shortcomings in Shelley's thinking, his insights and unique perspective remain significant to our understanding of the human condition and the challenges faced by society.
