Jonathan Emmesedi<p>Serious thinkers about ethics and lives worth living should spend less time on the trolley problem and more on "Middlemarch".</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MoralPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoralPhilosophy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Literature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrolleyProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrolleyProblem</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Middlemarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Middlemarch</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GeorgeEliot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeorgeEliot</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> </p><p>Dr Lydgate and Rosamond</p><p><a href="https://victorianweb.org/authors/eliot/gallery/11.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">victorianweb.org/authors/eliot</span><span class="invisible">/gallery/11.html</span></a></p>
Derek Caelin is writing a book<p>Isn't it weird how your frame of mind impacts your enjoyment of a book?</p><p>Example: I have tried and failed many times to get into George Eliot's "Middlemarch". I always found it dry and incredibly slow paced. Where is the plot? It's so many words about nothing. </p><p>This time around, I finally get it. Listening to the audiobook (Narrator: Nadia May) helped. Middlemarch is a *comedy* and the humor is in absurdity of these human characters in responding to their situations.</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/middlemarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>middlemarch</span></a></p>

jackhutton 🇺🇸<p>“In an article in the Westminster Review in 1856, ‘The Natural History of German Life’, George Eliot had written that the great function of art, including novels, was to widen our sympathies, to ‘amplify experience and extend our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot’. ”</p><p>Middlemarch<br>George Eliot </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/middleMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>middleMarch</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/georgeEliot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>georgeEliot</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
