Aids to Reflection

Aids to Reflection by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I did not realize that Coleridge was a religious writer. His work responds to many of the concerns of the day. He advocates for his version of Christianity. He identifies problems with the Baptists and Catholics, but seems to side more with Catholics. There are also significant responses to metaphysics and the modern thoughts of the day. In addition to the responses, there are also some general more personal thoughts on morality. The book felt quite disjointed, which may be in part due to the heavy annotations and references that seem to have been applied to later editors.
