Coleridge's Contemplative Philosophy. By Peter Cheyne.

Cheyne mentions in particular the plagiarism accusations and the assessment that Coleridge was no more than an unoriginal mediator between German philosophy and his English readers (pp. 38-40). Peter Cheyne's Coleridge's Contemplative Philosophy is a remarkable gathering together of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's (1772-1834) philosophy of the imagination, symbols, ideas, and reason. Chapters 6 to 11 explicate Coleridge's theory of mind, his modified Platonism, philosophy of ideas, his pentadic and triadic logic of ideas, and how these are poetically demonstrated in his middle period "Limbo" sequence, written in 1811.
