Aids to Reflection is a collection of moral and religious aphorisms, with commentaries. Coleridge’s purpose in this, his last major work of theology and philosophy, is to address his thought to the unspiritual but reflecting reader who is led from worldly-mindedness to the acceptance of spiritual religion. An excellent copy of this important if difficult work.
