George Henry Lewes Bücher
George Henry Lewes war ein englischer Philosoph sowie Literatur- und Theaterkritiker, der tief in die intellektuellen Strömungen des viktorianischen Zeitalters eintauchte. Er setzte sich mit aufkommenden Ideen des Darwinismus, Positivismus und religiösen Skeptizismus auseinander und trug zu den hitzigen Debatten der Epoche bei. Sein kritischer Scharfsinn und seine philosophischen Untersuchungen prägten den zeitgenössischen Diskurs über Kunst und Denken. Obwohl er für seine Verbindung mit George Eliot bekannt ist, markieren seine eigenen intellektuellen Beiträge ihn als eine bedeutende Figur des viktorianischen Geisteslebens.
