Description

Explore a unique perspective on early modern intellectual history with Milton's Secrecy: And Philosophical Hermeneutics. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work by J. D. Fleming examines the poetry and prose of John Milton (1608-1674) through a lens that challenges modern scientific views on interpretation. While scientific modernity often treats interpretation as a process of discovery, Fleming argues that Milton presents a different hermeneutic model. Instead of searching for secrets hidden within the world, Milton's work focuses on the openness within language itself. This book investigates how Milton's representations of meaning are exoteric rather than esoteric, and recognitive rather than inventive. This text provides a deep look into the relationship between literary and scientific cultures of early modernity. It places Milton's approach in direct opposition to the epistemology of modern natural science, offering valuable insights for students and scholars of history, literature, and philosophy. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on historiography and the evolution of thought.
