\To See the Finger of God in the Dimensions of the Pyramid\: A New Context for Ruskin's \The Ethics of the Dust\ (1866)
2003
Overview
Critics have overlooked Ruskin's negotiation with the heterodox scientific subject of Pyramidology in The Ethics of the Dust (1866), given momentum by arguments about weights and measures in Parliament in 1864. Ruskin silently employed the ideas of John Taylor and Charles Piazzi Smyth to impart depth and contemporaneity to his formulation of the spirit of life as associable with human personality in The Ethics. The allusive strategy also amplified the text's critique of materialist science, set terms for a literary practice that was to be characteristic of Fors Clavigera (1871-84), and indicated an aspect of Ruskin's self-reflexive sympathy with dissonant movements in the mid-1860s, a period when he was particularly aware of his own cultural dissonance.
