The Anatomy of the World

The Anatomy of the World: Relations Between Natural and Moral Law from Donne to Pope is a book written by Michael Macklem. The book explores the relationship between natural and moral law in the works of prominent writers from the 17th and 18th centuries, including John Donne and Alexander Pope.Macklem argues that these writers were grappling with the tension between the laws of nature and the laws of morality, and that their works offer insights into how we can reconcile these two seemingly opposing forces. He examines the different ways in which these writers approached the relationship between natural and moral law, and how their ideas influenced subsequent philosophical and literary movements.Through close readings of poems, essays, and other texts, Macklem shows how these writers were engaged in a broader cultural conversation about the nature of the universe and our place in it. He also highlights the ways in which their ideas continue to shape our understanding of the world today.Overall, The Anatomy of the World is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between natural and moral law, and the ways in which this relationship has been understood and represented throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
