Excerpt from Nature's Simple Plan: A Phase of Radical Thought in the Mid-Eighteenth Century
Tamed each rude wanderer to the sympathies Of those who were more happy if less wise, Did more than Europe's discipline had done.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the popularity of the idea of a ânatural manâ in 18th-century England. The author traces this idea through the writings of philosophers such as Rousseau, who argued that civilization had corrupted human nature, and the popular fascination with the ânoble savageâ exemplified by figures such as Omai, a South Sea Islander who visited England in the 1770s. The book also examines how these ideas influenced the English fascination with the island of Corsica, which was seen as a potential utopia where a new, pristine societyâ"free from the corruptions of civilizationâ"could be built. This book provides a fascinating insight into a key idea in the intellectual history of the 18th century and shows how it shaped attitudes toward society, politics, and culture.
