Volume 1 of 2. Coleridge's Shorter Works and Fragments brings
together a number of substantial essays that were not long enough
to require volumes to themselves, among them his "Theory of Life,"
"Essays on the Principles of Genial Criticism," "Treatise on
Method," "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit," "On the Passions,"
and "On the Prometheus of Aeschylus." To these are added more than
four hundred other pieces, some of them fragementary, many of them
previously unpublished, ranging in date from school essays of the
early 1790s to a discussion of the bullion controversy in 1834. As
might be expected, the subject matter includes literature and
language, theology, philosophy, politics, and science, but in many
less predictable topics (such as child labor laws, marriage,
suicide, church history, the abolition of slavery, the state of the
colonies) also appear. By gathering this material and presenting it
in chronological order, Shorter Works and Fragments reveals the
development and major characteristics of Coleridge's seemingly
inexhaustible variety. H.J. Jackson and J.R. de J. Jackson,
Professors of English at the University of Toronto, are the editors
of Coleridge's Marginalia and Logic, respectively, in the Collected
Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Bollingen Series LXXV Originally
published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
The manuscript of Coleridge's Logic is published here in its
entirety for the first time, along with the texts of manuscripts
that are directly related to it. Coleridge's plans to write about
logic go back at least as far as 1803, but it was not until the
1820s that he undertook to write a book that would be of practical
use to young men about to enter "the bar, the pulpit, and the
senate." By that time the philosophy course he taught to classes of
such young men had given them access to his thoughts, and he in
turn benefited from their interest and enthusiasm. Coleridge wished
to encourage his readers to think for themselves in a manner that
was consistent and self-aware. He hoped to provide them with a
system of logic "applied to the purposes of real life." His Logic
differs from earlier English models in its emphasis on the
psychology of thought and in its sceptical treatment fo the figures
of the syllogism. Here the influence of Kant's Critique of Pure
Reason predominates. The Logic is also concerned with the
psychology of language--indeed Coleridge thought of calling the
book "The Elements of Discourse"--and with the philosophical and
theological implications of different semantic theories. Here he
was sustained by a vigorous English tradition and aided by his own
subtle experience of the relationship between thoughts and words.
The Logic is an introduction to thinking about thought. It touches
on a variety of topics--education, the origin of language, the
importance of defining terms, subjective and objective truth, the
meaning of abstraction, understadning and reason, conception and
perception, self-consciousness, intuition, space and time, cause
and effect, mathematical evidence, and the mind's emancipation from
the senses--and behind these characteristic concerns Coleridge's
more comprehensive views may be freshly glimpsed. J.R. de J.
Jackson is Professor of English at the University of Toronto. He is
the author of Method and Imagination in Coleridge's Criticism and
the editor of Coleridge: The Critical Heritage (both published by
Routledge & Kegan Paul). Bollingen Series LXXV Originally
