[So far, I have deployed certain binaries that organise Coleridge’s pre-Arnoldian discourse on ‘culture’, such as the opposition between freedom and compulsion, will and stimulatability, agency and passivity. Via Eve Sedgwick, and Walter Benjamin, I have theorised the ‘other’ of cultivation as ‘addiction’; considering addiction as, pri-marily, an ‘epidemics of the will’ (Sedgwick). In the first Chapter, I argued that Coleridge’s idea of cultivation is inherently related to the ideas of freedom and autonomy. However, education, in Coleridge’s view, has to elicit the kind of autonomy that is in harmony with the will of God and that of the State.1 As I will show, Coleridge, as both the inheritor of the British empirical tradition, and an advocate of Kant’s idea of moral autonomy, introduces the idea of love and the practice of habits as a partial solution to this aporia. The importance Coleridge attaches to habits (both ‘habits of reflection’ and ‘virtuous habits’) renders his pedagogical ideals more complex, since the mechanical character of habit, this ‘automatic reflex’ (Barney, 41, italics added) goes against the pedagogical ideal of eliciting free will in the individual.]
