Dialogues on the Beauty of Nature and Moral Reflections on Certain Topics of Natural History

Om Dialogues on the Beauty of Nature and Moral Reflections on Certain Topics of Natural History

Swiss critic Johann Georg Sulzer''s Dialogues on the Beauty of Nature (1750) and Reflections on Certain Topics of Natural History (1745) are exemplary specimens of eighteenth-century European theology, philosophy, natural history, and aesthetics. Sulzer''s contemporaries-notably Goethe-read him with attention. Eric Miller''s elegant translation comes with a vivid, informative, and strongly contextualizing introduction. Sulzer''s early works are a curio cabinet of the philosophical and theological arguments that exercised and enticed the intelligentsia of his period. These topics and arguments have by no means forfeited pertinence today.
