Cover of Jonathan Swift: Irland (ePUB)

Jonathan Swift (* 30. November 1667 in Dublin, Königreich Irland; † 19. Oktober 1745 ebenda) war ein irischer Schriftsteller und Satiriker der frühen Aufklärung. Man kennt Swift gemeinhin als Satiriker. Die Bezeichnung trifft im Grunde nicht zu: Sie begrenzt zu stark. Swift war vor allem ein Intellektueller. Aber ein Intellektueller, der seine ganze Logik auf die Kritik bestehender Dinge verwandte. In ihm ist zweihundert Jahre vor uns ein Kampf lebendig gewesen, der heute in den besten geistigen Strömungen unsres Landes tobt: Der Kampf gegen jede Sentimentalität: gegen die Phrase (der Engländer sagt gegen den »Cant«) und für die Gerechtigkeit. Hier nimmt es sich engagiert dem Schicksal Irlands an.
