| Summary: | Part I. Prolegomena -- part II. Rational appetite : an emergent conceptual tradition -- part III. Progressive amnesia : will and the crisis of reason -- part IV. Retrieving the human : Coleridge on will, person, and conscience ; In this study, Thomas Pfau argues that the loss of foundational concepts in classical and medieval Aristotelian philosophy caused a fateful separation between reason and will in European thought. Pfau traces the evolution and eventual deterioration of key concepts of human agency - will, person, judgment, action - from antiquity through Scholasticism and on to eighteenth-century moral theory and its critical revision in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge |
