A Satyr Against Reason and Mankind : ウィキペディア英語版 | A Satyr Against Reason and Mankind ''A Satyr Against Reason and Mankind'' is a satirical poem by the English Restoration poet John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. ==Interpretation== The poem addresses the question of the proper use of reason, and is generally assumed to be a Hobbesian critique of rationalism.〔 The narrator subordinates reason to sense. It is based to some extent on Boileau's version of Juvenal's eighth or fifteenth satire, and is also indebted to Hobbes, Montaigne, Lucretius and Epicurus, as well as the general libertine tradition.〔 Confusion has arisen in its interpretation as it is ambiguous as to whether the speaker is Rochester himself, or a satirised persona. It criticises the vanities and corruptions of the statesmen and politicians of the court of Charles II.
