Publisher's Synopsis

""St. Simonism in the Radicalism of Thomas Carlyle"" is a book written by David Brooks Cofer. This book explores the influence of the French philosopher and social reformer, Claude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon (1760-1825), on the British writer, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881). Cofer argues that Carlyle, who is often considered a conservative thinker, was actually deeply influenced by Saint-Simon's ideas about social and economic reform, and that these ideas played a significant role in shaping Carlyle's own radical political views. The book examines Carlyle's writings on labor, technology, and the role of the state, and shows how these ideas were influenced by Saint-Simon's philosophy of industrialism and his vision of a socialist society. Cofer also provides a detailed analysis of Carlyle's relationship with Saint-Simonism, and how this relationship changed over time. Overall, ""St. Simonism in the Radicalism of Thomas Carlyle"" offers a fresh perspective on Carlyle's political thought, and sheds new light on the intellectual history of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
