A Fundamental Aesthetic: Said Nursi’s Re-writing of the Qur’an into the Idiom of Modernity by Geoffrey Nash

“…His writings explain the Qur’an’s effect as imbuing the everyday world with the halo of the miraculous, as he builds a fundamental aesthetic upon this premise. Thomas Carlyle is shown to adopt a comparable evocation of miracle in Sartor Resartus, however a sense of a direct involvement of divinity in the world such as is found in Nursi’s writings is decisively missing, marking the distinction between modern European views of the cosmos and the Muslim author’s still traditionally religious one.…”

Speech beyond toleration: On Carlyle and moral controversialism now by Small, H

“…By way of probing the relationship between normative and antinormative thinking about free speech, this essay returns to one of the most notorious literary and political controversialists of the nineteenth century. I argue that Thomas Carlyle’s deliberate offences against progressive sentiment in his “Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question” (1849), and John Stuart Mill’s robust response, provide a helpful historical basis from which to consider similar challenges today to normative views of public argument and styles of expression.…”

Making good on Henry James by Maher, D

“…In this dissertation, I examine how certain twentieth- and twenty-first-century moral philosophers try to “make good on” how aesthetic education only partially delivers on what is taken to be its promise: to let each person become all that she is capable of being, to paraphrase Thomas Carlyle. Although Iris Murdoch, Martha Nussbaum, Cora Diamond, and Stanley Cavell, the four principal figures of this dissertation, are known for mounting strong, affirmative cases for aesthetic education, I argue that they in fact attempt to recuperate the perfectionist promise of aesthetic education, which is highly contested throughout the twentieth century, by making cases for imperfection. …”
