Ed. Patrick Müller (Frankfurt: Peter Lang, 2014)

2012 Conference Proceedings: ‘New Ages, New Opinions’: Shaftesbury in his World and Today

Interest in Shaftesbury is as lively and productive today as it ever was. Indeed, the past decade has seen a veritable international renaissance in studies of his work. The various theoretical approaches of which modern critics and scholars can avail themselves are reflected in the different new interpretations we now have of Shaftesbury. This collection of essays manifests this diversity, offering a representative miscellany which covers the whole range of Shaftesbury’s own intellectual interests and which includes re-evaluations of his ethics, aesthetics, politics, religion, and literary criticism, as well as examinations of the reception of his works.
