| Popis: | hermeneutics in Coleridge. HE EFFORT TO READ literature in the context of ethics raises A the question of how the kind of knowledge used in approaching ethical life is related to the kind of knowledge involved in the production and reception of literary works. Although recent criticism, striving to situate literature among other forms of cultural activity, is rightly suspicious of claims that grant special status to aesthetic or ethical knowledge, the relation between the often conflicting claims of artistic activity and ethical life was of vital importance to British Romanticism and continues to inform modem hermeneutical and ethical thought. This relation can be illuminated by considering the fate of Aristotle's distinction between phronesis, or ethical knowledge, and techne, or productive knowledgea distinction still relevant both to an understanding of the Romantic struggle with the ethical implications of aesthetic experience and to an understanding of the relation between ethical and interpretive issues in literary criticism. |
