- W2473102938 abstract "Lemuel Gulliver’s desires are figured in his immediate and unstinting embrace of life on Laputa, the Floating or Flying Island, in Book Three of the Travels. Written last of the four, the third book of Gulliver’s Travels brilliantly satirizes modern thought and experimental science, its assumptions and its implications. As Swift sees it, modernity seeks little less than transcendence of the human. This, and more, he represents in his narrator’s thoughtless embrace of Laputa (meaning “whore”). The inhabitants of Laputa and of the subjugated world beneath them are given to abstraction and the theoretical, and as a consequence nothing actually works—except on the separated estate below of Lord Munodi, an exemplary Ancient in this relentless battle of the books. For the Laputans, as for other peoples visited in Book Three, there is strangeness without reality, reason separated from common sense." @default.
