Algernon Sidney:Court Maxims
No full textThree crucial elements influenced Sidney's political writings: his extraordinary career, his bold character, and no doubt his particular cultural background. Court maxims, discussed and refelled was written while Sidney was in his forties and experiencing a large measure of adversity during his self-inflicted exile to the Continent. Sidney intended this text to unite English republicans, and possibly their Dutch counterparts as well, into an effort to re-establish the Commonwealth in England. But it would be inappropriate to look at it as just a ‘work of propaganda’ (Blair Worden, ‘The commonwealth kidney of Algernon Sidney’, Journal of British Studies, 24 (1985) 1–40, p. 10). A remarkably uncompromising text, it contains ‘a more complete exposure of the assumptions behind, and the tensions within, Sidney's thought as a whole’ (Jonathan Scott, Algernon Sidney and the English republic, 1623–1677 (Cambridge, 1988), p. 7) than his later Discourses concerning government which, in more direct response to the actual circumstances of the 1680s, was to be published in 1698. The Court maxims abound with classical and biblical references, side by side with machiavellian themes and reverberations of Sidney's own education as a squire, providing the context for his view of English history and the nature of politics. The tragedy of the Court maxims, however, was that its author was already in the process of losing ground as a politician among English exiles on the Continent because of his abrasive character, while the shifting political situation made its publication inappropriate and left it gathering dust in the archives for more than two centuries

No full textCharlie Gordon As A Posthuman Character In Flowers For Algernon By Daniel Keyes
No full textDaniel keyes’ 1966 novel Flowers for Algernon discusses issues regarding the nature of humans, the boundaries of intelligence, and possible avenues for genetic manipulation. This research is an attempt to closely explore the posthumanist viewpoint in Flowers for Algernon by examining the moral and social ramifications of Charlie Gordon\u27s journey from a mentally handicapped man to a superman and back again. By relying on the posthuman theory, this dissertation investigates how Keyes\u27 depiction of Charlie Gordon\u27s metamorphosis challenges conventional ideas concerning what it means to be a human. It further tackles the assumption that Charlie\u27s growth from an inferior human to a superior one demonstrates how humans are neither permanent nor static. This study contends that the author offers a posthumanist approach that challenges the inherent stability of human nature and creates a space for transhumanism and genetic experimentation. Keyes\u27 Flowers for Algernon novel is regarded as a notable work for advancing profound insights into the complexities of ethical and human values and their degradation, as well as a vividly detailed understanding of the intricate tension between emotion and intellect with the interference of science which allows for an expanded awareness of the essence of what constitutes a human bein
