Description: Testimony of Sense : Empiricism and the Essay from Hume to Hazlitt, Hardcover by Milnes, Tim, ISBN 0198812736, ISBN-13 9780198812739, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The Testimony of Sense attempts to answer a neglected but important question: what became of epistemology in the late eighteenth century, in the period between Humes scepticism and Romantic idealism? It finds that two factors in particular reshaped the nature of empiricism: the
socialisation of experience by Scottish Enlightenment thinkers and the impact upon philosophical discourse of the belletrism of periodical culture. Th aims to correct the still widely-held assumption that Hume effectively silenced epistemological inquiry in Britain for over half a century.
Instead, it argues that Hume encouraged the abandonment of subject-centred reason in favour of models of rationality based upon the performance of trusting actions within society. Of particular interest here is the way in which, after Hume, fundamental ideas like the self, truth, and meaning are
conceived less in terms of introspection, correspondence, and reference, and more in terms of community, coherence, and communication. By tracing the idea of intersubjectivity through the issues of trust, testimony, virtue and language, the study offers new perspectives on the relationships between
philosophy and literature, empiricism and transcendentalism, and Enlightenment and Romanticism. As philosophy grew more conversational, the familiar essay became a powerful metaphor for new forms of communication. Th explores what is epistemologically at stake in the familiar essay genre as it
develops through the writings of Joseph Addison, David Hume, Samuel Johnson, Charles Lamb, and William Hazlitt. It also offers readings of philosophical texts, such as Humes Treatise, Thomas Reids Inquiry, and Adam Smiths Theory of Moral Sentiments, as literary performances.
