Sinopsis

''The New Paul and Virginia or Positivism on an Island'' is a novel written by William Hurrell Mallock. The story is set on a tropical island where a group of people live according to the principles of positivism, a philosophical movement that emphasizes the use of scientific methods to understand the world. The main characters are two young people, Paul and Virginia, who fall in love and struggle to reconcile their feelings with the strict rules of the community they live in. The novel explores themes such as love, freedom, and the conflict between reason and emotion. Mallock?s work is a modern retelling of the classic novel ''Paul and Virginia'' by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, and it offers a critique of the positivist philosophy that was prevalent in the late 19th century. The book is considered a significant contribution to the literary and philosophical debates of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
