Sartor Resartus, written by Thomas Carlyle and published in 1836, is a rather strange and complicated book. It depicts the story of a character called The Editor, who is discussing a book written by a fictional character with the name of Teufelsdröckh. Through the character of Teufelsdröckh we become familiar with the unique philosophy of Thomas Carlyle.
Teufelsdröckh, after experiencing several hardships and insecurities, decides to reject life. This rejection develops in an attitude towards life defined by Thomas Carlyle as the ‘Everlasting No’. Ultimately, after a long period of reflection, Teufelsdröckh, however, decides to say yes to life, culminating in a much more hopeful attitude towards life: the “Everlasting Yes’.
The thought process that Teufelsdröckh goes through during this transition is extremely interesting. Some unique philosophical insights are presented and analysed by Thomas Carlyle. As a result of several ideas put forward in Sartor Resartus, it can even be argued that Thomas Carlyle was one of the earliest explorers of existentialist philosophy. In this videos we will discuss some of these insights presented by Thomas Carlyle.
