Aids to Reflection, a religious and philosophical treatise by S. T.
Coleridge, published 1825. Coleridge compiled this unsystematic collection of commentaries and aphorisms on selected passages from the 17th-cent. Anglican divine Archbishop Leighton. It stresses the importance of Christianity as a ‘personal revelation’ and further develops his famous distinction between Reason and Understanding, originally drawn from
Kant, as the source respectively of ‘Moral’ and ‘Prudential’ action.
