The work examines how “influence” can be understood hermeneutically, and traces Coleridge’s evolving responses across early poetry, metaphysical debates, and later transcendental reasoning. Chapters address themes of infinity, God, freedom, evil, and providential failure, while analyzing transformations of “reason” by figures such as Jacobi, Mendelssohn, and Schelling.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/coleridge-and-the-crisis-of-reason-introduction/318397/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/coleridge-and-the-crisis-of-reason-introduction/318397.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Eliana","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the central focus of the book?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The book focuses on Coleridge’s engagement with Spinoza and the pantheism controversy, presented as a crisis of reason and explored through multiple stages of Coleridge’s thought.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the introduction approach the concept of influence?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The introduction uses a hermeneutic approach to understand “influence,” framing how Coleridge’s reception and transformations of ideas should be read.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Which philosophers are discussed alongside Coleridge and Spinoza?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The contents include sections on McFarland’s work and on figures such as Jacobi, Mendelssohn, and Schelling, particularly regarding transformations or defences connected to reason and pantheism.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},318397,1790440633,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},4398048949847,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/400002536579ef2da7f?_k=1778318612642679267","Coleridge and the Crisis of Reason  \nRichard Berkeley  \nColeridge and the Crisis of Reason  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nColeridge and the Crisis of Reason  \nRichard Berkeley  \n© Richard Berkeley 2007  \nAll rights reserved.
