This book re-evaluates the philosophical status of Samuel Taylor
Coleridge by providing an extended comparison between his work and
the phenomenological theory of Edmund Husserl. Examining
Coleridge's accounts of the imagination, perception, poetic
creativity and literary criticism, it draws a systematic and
coherent structure out of a range of Coleridge's philosophical
writing. In addition, it also applies the principles of Coleridge's
philosophy to an interpretation of his own poetic output.

This is the second book by Tom Marshall exploring the benefits of
periodic extended rentals as an alternative to owning a second
home, while providing an example in his travel journal account of a
summer spent in Slovenia. Tom Marshall and his wife Elysee retired
from the business world, moved permemntly to Naples, Florida, and
were faced with the "baby boomer' question of whether to sell their
property up North or keep it as a second residence. The Marshalls
took the unusual decision to sell out and " make the world their
second home." They have traveled every summer to a different part
of the world and established a residence for three or four months.
This exciting travel journel recounts their adventures in and
around Slovenia, including excursions to Hungary, Venice, Italy and
Vienna, Austria. Tom also describes their alternative lifestyle for
retiring baby boomers.
This travel journal is the seventh book in a series by Tom Marshall
describing experiences he and his wife Elysee have had during their
summer's away from home. Tom and Elysee practice and indorse a
lifestyle captured in the phrase of another of Tom's books, MAKE
THE WORLD YOUR SECOND HOME. Although residing in retirement in
Naples, Florida for the past fourteen years, Tom and Elysee have
yet to spend a summer there. Instead they live in a different place
each year, renting as an option to owning a second home. In the
previous fourteen years they have stayed in Ireland, Australia/New
Zealand, Carmel, California, Slovenia, Annapolis, Md., Estonia,
Boothbay Harbor, Camden Maine and in 2013 Western Europe's three
major capitals Rome, Paris and London. The summer of 2013 broke
with the practice of renting in one place for the entire summer.
Instead The Marshall's rented for seven week in Rome, six weeks in
Paris and five weeks in London, with stop over in Ireland folded
in. In this book Tom describes the activities and events they
encountered and participated in, several day trips taken to places
of interest nearby, and excursions further afield of several days
or more. The book is complimented with many photographs, all of
them taken by Tom. Any reader contemplating an extended visit to
Europe would benefit from reading this book, it provided an
excellent example of contemporary Rome, Paris and London but, most
importantly it testifies to the BIG idea Tom promotes, to Make the
World Your Second Home by renting, instead of buying one
