Sartor Resartus is a philosophical novel by Thomas Carlyle about a fictional German professor, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, who believes that human institutions and beliefs are mere “clothes” that cover up nothingness. Through a blend of satire, biography, and philosophy, Carlyle critiques 19th-century materialism and rationalism, inviting readers to reexamine civilization’s frameworks and find a deeper spiritual meaning beyond surface-level appearances.Carlyle’s exploration of belief and the need to reexamine societal structures remains a poignant question for readers even today.
