Description
David P. Haney. The Challenge of Coleridge: Ethics and Interpretation in Romanticism and Modern Philosophy. University Park: Penn State University Press, 2001. Pp. xviii + 309. $55.00. Let it be said at once that David Haney has given us a remarkable and important book. Its goal is to read Coleridge in the context of modern thinking on ethics and hermeneutics, and its strategy is to create a kind of "meta-conversation," bringing Coleridge into a serious intellectual exchange with such thinkers as Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur and Emmanuel Levinas. As Haney says at the close of his dense and richly textured argument, "The point is not to catalogue either the blindness or the insight on either side of the conversation, which would suggest the hubristic possibility of rising above the conversation itself. The point is rather to have the conversation and reflect on it." This conversation "needs no justification beyond itself" (262).
