Exploring the intersection of philosophy and literature during the British Enlightenment, this book examines moral philosophers of the early eighteenth century and their influence on the development of the novel. It highlights how philosophical fictions contributed to the emergence of philosophical aesthetics, placing novelists like Fielding, Sterne, Johnson, and Austen within a broader philosophical framework. The work also contextualizes empiricist philosophers within English literary history, offering insights into the dynamic relationship between these two fields.
