Abstract

Abstract:This paper offers a revisionist interpretation of Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Men by attending to the distinct, if idiosyncratic sympathetic strands of her engagement with Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France. Recognizing Wollstonecraft as both a uniquely oriented reviewer of Burke and a political theorist, I trace how her defense of reason does not, as is often suggested, displace feeling, but rather draws upon it to fashion heretofore unconsidered political possibilities. In light of the Revolution’s ambitious revision of essential political interactions between subjects, Wollstonecraft’s proposal recognizes sympathy as an imperative world-building practice.

重新定位同情——重读玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特的《维护人权》
摘要:本文对玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特的《维护男性权利》进行了修正主义解读,通过关注她与埃德蒙·伯克的《法国大革命反思》之间独特的、但又独特的同情纽带。认识到沃斯通克拉夫特既是伯克的一位独特的评论家,也是一位政治理论家,我追溯了她对理性的辩护并没有像人们常说的那样取代感觉,而是利用它来创造迄今为止未被考虑的政治可能性。鉴于革命对主体之间的基本政治互动进行了雄心勃勃的修订,沃斯通克拉夫特的提案承认同情是一种必要的世界建设实践。

期刊介绍: Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
