An artful analysis of early modern and postmodern literary works as mediums of truth. Interweaving critiques of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Watts's hymns, Swift's Gulliver's Travels, and Smart's and Cowper's poetry with commentary on Gadamer's and Polanyi's philosophies, Ritchie provides an erudite introduction to ways of knowing by bringing postmodern insights into dialogue with 18th-century Enlightenment critics. 280 pages, hardcover from Baylor University.
