Lemuel Gulliver, a slightly staid ship’s doctor, relates the tales of his astonishing travels. He encounters the tiny, warring Lilliputians; the giant, sceptical Brobdingnagians; the ludicrously intellectual Laputans; and the idealistic - if rather stolid - Houyhnhnms and their bestial servants, the Yahoos. An immediate best seller when it was first published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels has remained a favourite ever since. It was an attack on the politics and society of Swift’s day, but it is also a polemical, inventive, surreal, vitriolic, and wonderfully imaginative masterpiece.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was born in Cockermouth, in the Lake District. His Lyrical Ballads, written in collaboration with Coleridge, was published in 1798, and shortly afterwards he settled in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy. Inspired in his early manhood by the French Revolution, he grew disillusioned with revolutionary politics and in later life became decidedly conservative. He left a vast body of work, ranging from delicately simple lyrics to deeply meditative odes.

"In der Form der Aussage (...) wurde zunehmend ein Problem wichtig: Es muß gelingen, die Substanz der Philosophie, wenn sie einmal erarbeitet ist, in eine einfache Reflexionsfolge und Sprache zu bringen, sodass Philosophie ohne Substanzverlust nach einem elitären auch ein allgemeines Denken werden kann. "Die 'Einführung in die Philosophie" (1950) war der erste und glücklichste Versuch darin (...)." (Hans Saner)
