While Johnson charged that Milton "unhappily perplexed his poetry
with his philosophy," Stephen M. Fallon argues that the
relationship between Milton's philosophy and the poetry of Paradise
Lost is a happy one. The author examines Milton's thought in light
of the competing philosophical systems that filled the vacuum left
by the repudiation of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. In what
has become the classic account of Milton's animist materialism,
Fallon revises our understanding of Milton's philosophical
sophistication. The book offers a new interpretation of the War in
Heaven in Paradise Lost as a clash of metaphysical systems, with
free will hanging in the balance.
