Description
The Enquirer. Reflections on education, manners, and literature in a series of essays from a primary source 1823 edition, as revised by William Godwin. Indexed and with an Introduction by Monmouth Press's Senior Editor.
Godwin's carefully thought out enquiries into our lives and relationships are not only of interest to the academic or the student of philosophy, they are also relevant to anyone who wishes to think deeply about how to live his or her life today, especially those who are parents and educators. Arguably, this book could still be included amongst the best manuals on education available. Some of the concepts in his essays might require an inner alteration whilst reading to make allowances for technological advances, but the discourse is eminently rational. For instance, the ideas in 'Of Choice in Reading' could work equally well if one were to replace the word 'books' with 'computer games' or 'television' or, indeed, the 'internet'. Godwin says in an essay on fame after death, "it appears, that the most which a successful author can pretend to, is to deliver up his works as a subject for eternal contention."
