The Burdens of Perfection On Ethics and Reading in Nineteenth-Century British Literature

The Burdens of Perfection On Ethics and Reading in Nineteenth-Century British Literature
The Burdens of Perfection: On Ethics and Reading in Nineteenth-Century British Literature By Andrew H. Miller
2008 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0801446619 | PDF | 2 MB
Literary criticism has, in recent decades, rather fled from discussions of moral psychology, and for good reasons, too. Who would not want to flee the hectoring moralism with which it is so easily associated-portentous, pious, humorless? But in protecting us from such fates, our flight has had its costs, as we have lost the concepts needed to recognize and assess much of what distinguished nineteenth-century British literature. That literature was inescapably ethical in orientation, and to proceed as if it were not ignores a large part of what these texts have to offer, and to that degree makes less reasonable the desire to study them, rather than other documents from the period, or from other periods.Such are the intuitions that drive The Burdens of Perfection, a study of moral perfectionism in nineteenth-century British culture. Reading the period's essayists (Mill, Arnold, Carlyle), poets (Browning and Tennyson), and especially its novelists (Austen, Dickens, Eliot, and James), Andrew H. Miller provides an extensive response to Stanley Cavell's contribution to ethics and philosophy of mind. In the process, Miller offers a fresh way to perceive the Victorians and the lingering traces their quests for improvement have left on readers.

The Birth of Conservative Judaism Solomon Schechter's Disciples and the Creation of an American Religious Movement

The Birth of Conservative Judaism Solomon Schechter's Disciples and the Creation of an American Religious Movement
Michael Cohen, "The Birth of Conservative Judaism: Solomon Schechter's Disciples and the Creation of an American Religious Movement"
English | ISBN: 0231156359 | 2012 | 232 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Solomon Schechter (1847-1915), the charismatic leader of New York's Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), came to America in 1902 intent on revitalizing traditional Judaism. While he advocated a return to traditional practices, Schechter articulated no clear position on divisive issues, instead preferring to focus on similarities that could unite American Jewry under a broad message. Michael R. Cohen demonstrates how Schechter, unable to implement his vision on his own, turned to his disciples, rabbinical students and alumni of JTS, to shape his movement. By midcentury, Conservative Judaism had become the largest American Jewish grouping in the United States, guided by Schechter's disciples and their continuing efforts to embrace diversity while eschewing divisive debates.
