Tóm tắt
The modern scientists introduce us to intellectual virtue beyond what we find in earlier voyages, but they also excite a yearning for a regime that makes some provision for the soul as well as the body. There is a strange, somewhat cryptic presentation of a “realistic utopia” back in the first voyage, mixed or confused with “Old Lilliput.” There is a modern acceptance of materialism, commerce, and individuals always thinking of their own benefit. There is a somewhat concealed emphasis on liberal education for the elite. This may point to Swift’s thoughts on incorporating some aspects of ancient thought in a modern regime. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
