Past and Present; Chartism and Sartor Resartus is a collection of two influential works by Scottish philosopher and writer Thomas Carlyle. The first part of the book, Past and Present, is a historical analysis of the social and economic changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution in England. Carlyle argues that the rise of industrialization and capitalism has led to a decline in morality and spirituality, and calls for a return to traditional values and social structures.The second part of the book, Chartism, is a political treatise that examines the Chartists movement in England during the 19th century. Carlyle sympathizes with the working-class demands for political and social reform, but also criticizes the movement for its lack of organization and leadership.The final section of the book, Sartor Resartus, is a fictional autobiography that explores the themes of spiritual crisis and personal transformation. The protagonist, a German philosopher named Diogenes Teufelsdr������ckh, undergoes a spiritual journey that leads him to reject traditional religious and philosophical beliefs and embrace a new, more individualistic worldview.Overall, Past and Present; Chartism and Sartor Resartus is a thought-provoking and influential work that explores a wide range of social, political, and philosophical issues. Carlyle's writing style is dense and complex, and requires careful reading and analysis to fully appreciate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
