Résumé

In "Civilisation, " Edward Carpenter offers a provocative critique of modern society, exploring the intricate relationship between ethical progress and social development. Written in a lyrical style that reflects his deep engagement with both philosophical inquiry and poetic expression, Carpenter delves into the challenges posed by industrialization, urbanization, and materialism. He juxtaposes these themes against the backdrop of the natural world, arguing for a return to more organic, human-centered values.
Carpenter's literary context is rooted in the late 19th-century socio-political movements advocating for social reform and the rights of marginalized communities, making this work a significant contribution to the discourse on civilization's evolution and its moral implications. Edward Carpenter, an influential figure in the early labor and socialist movements, was also a pioneering advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and a leading voice in the naturalist movement.
His diverse experiences'-ranging from his upbringing in a privileged English family to his explorations of alternative lifestyles'-shaped his worldview and informed his understanding of the socio-political realities of his time. Carpenter's passion for social justice and his commitment to holistic living permeate his writing, revealing his aspiration to inspire change. I highly recommend "Civilisation" to readers interested in the intersections of sociology, ethics, and literature.
This book remains impactful as it offers timeless insights into the moral fabric of society and challenges us to envision a more humane future. Carpenter's eloquent prose compels readers to reflect critically on the currents shaping contemporary civilization, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand the roots of social injustice and the call for reform. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
