Abstract

Wickham revisits some of the territory explored so creatively over more than a decade by Ian Hunter on his way to Rival Enlightenments and Tony Bennett working towards Culture: A Reformer's Science. She outlines first on the type's of foundation in 17th-century metaphysical philosophy, especially its reliance on the figure of homo-duplex, and then moves on to consider the way this foundation provided a springboard for the emergence of powerful aesthetic-hermeneutic and romantic elements, as central features of the formation of this type of intellectual.
