Sinopsis

Swiss critic Johann Georg Sulzer?s Dialogues on the Beauty of Nature (1750) and Reflections on Certain Topics of Natural History (1745) are exemplary specimens of eighteenth-century European theology, philosophy, natural history, and aesthetics. Sulzer?s contemporaries-notably Goethe-read him with attention. Eric Miller?s elegant translation comes with a vivid, informative, and strongly contextualizing introduction. Sulzer?s early works are a curio cabinet of the philosophical and theological arguments that exercised and enticed the intelligentsia of his period. These topics and arguments have by no means forfeited pertinence today.
