John Harper signs his name with a date of 1748 on the title page dedication page and colophon. <br /> 2. J.B. Pooley neatly signs his name with a date of 1835 on FFEP and includes a famous quote from Dr. Samuel Johnson: The only book that ever took one out of bed two hours sooner than I wished to rise<br /> 3. Vignette bookplate of James S. Burra noted 19th century bibliophile and collector who had an impressive library of important books and manuscripts on front pastedown and his signature in pencil on FFEP. Burra interacts with the text throughout in pencil but lightly - underlining or marking passages along the margin sometimes writing a word or two of commentary. He also has notes in pencil on rear blanks including listing the pages works of Shakespeare are referenced etc.<br /> <br /> Numerous pagination errors as called for: page 79 is listed as 77 and 80 as 78. Pagination is off 2 until. when page 362 is misnumbered as 363 and pagination is off by one henceforth. Most importantly catch words align page-to-page and register is continuous.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p>CONTENT & INFLUENCE</p> <br /> <p>Much of Anatomy was inspired by Burton's own struggles with depression. Anatomy starts with a roughly 200-page-long satirical introduction "Democritus to the Reader" narrated by Burton's pseudonym Democritus Junior. The main body of the book is divided into three partitions. The first partition is The Causes of Melancholy the second partition is The Cure of Melancholy and the third partition is Love-Melancholy and Religious Melancholy. The book regularly quotes biblical ancient and medieval medical authorities and literary sources.</p> <br /> <p>The Anatomy of Melancholy inspired countless writers of the following centuries including Samuel Johnson John Milton and Laurence Sterne and modern authors like Philip Pullman. Romantic poet John Keats claimed Anatomy was his favorite book. Burton's numerous anecdotes which tackle melancholy with both sobriety and humor as well as the overarching influence of his personal sadness on the book are often cited as making Anatomy his one truly great work.</p> .

br. Quale è il ruolo della filosofia in una società pervasa dalla tecnologia? Che cosa fa oggi un filosofo in un mondo dominato dalle conoscenze scientifiche? Immaginiamo che Democrito torni fra noi e, ormai anziano e malato, racconti il suo pensiero alla figlia. Gli episodi della sua vita quotidiana di uomo del XXI secolo sarebbero allora occasioni di riflessione, in cui le scienze e la filosofia dialogano fecondandosi reciprocamente. Galileo, Darwin e Einstein hanno mostrato che viviamo alla periferia dell'universo ma, a differenza degli altri esseri viventi a noi noti, abbiamo la capacità di meditare sulla nostra posizione nel cosmo. Il neo-Democrito ci guiderà in questi pensieri.
