Sartor Resartus

1. How do the style and content of Sartor Resartus compare to Past and Present?
2. The political and moral philosophy called Utilitarianism had become increasingly prominent in England since the end of the 18th century. For Utilitarians, actions (both personal and political) are to be judged on the basis of their outcomes, particularly on the degree of happiness they produce in the world. Thus, in a famous formulation, the most moral action is that which produces the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people. What is Carlyle's view of this principle in "The Everlasting Yea"?
3. What is "the everlasting yea"? What does it require of people, in practical terms?
4. Why are miracles such an important issue? How does Carlyle redefine the miraculous for his age in "Natural Supernaturalism"? What does he mean by natural supernaturalism?
5. How does Carlyle's response to the crisis of faith generated by scientific materialism, consumer capitalism, and philosophical skepticism compare to Tennyson's?
