Excerpt from Rousseau and RomanticismOn its negative side my argument is directed against this undue emphasis on the law for thing, against the attempt to erect on naturalistic foundations a complete philosophy of life. I define two main forms of naturalism on the one hand, utilitarian and scientific and, on the other, emotional naturalism. The type of romanticism I am studying is inseparably bound up with emotional naturalism.This type of romanticism encouraged by the naturalistic movement is only one of three main types I distinguish and I am dealing for the most part with only one aspect of it. But even when thus circumscribed the subject can scarcely be said to lack importance; for if I am right in my conviction as to the unsoundness of a Rousseauistic philosophy of life, it follows that the total tendency of the Occident at present 13 away from rather than towards civilization.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Masters Of Modern French Criticism

Professor Babbitt's exclusive focus is on nineteenth century French critics whom he terms the most vital and significant personalities of their time. He argues that, since they were at the intellectual center of their era, to be familiar with them is to know the main movement of intellectual thought through the period.

The Masters of Modern French Criticism

Praeger

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

“With a comprehensive new introduction by Russell Kirk...a book...so solid in its substance and implications that it barely shows its age.... What Babbitt has to say about the classics, and the ancients, American civilization and character still deserve to be known and pondered by all those interested in education.”—Milton Hindus, Brandeis University
