Download or read book Literature in the Making written by Nancy Glazener and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, literature meant learned writings; by the twentieth century, literature had come to be identified with imaginative, aesthetically significant works, and academic literary studies had developed special protocols for interpreting and valuing literary texts. Literature in the Making examines what happened in between: how literature came to be more precisely specified and valued; how it was organized into genres, canons, and national traditions; and how it became the basis for departments of modern languages and literatures in research universities. Modern literature, the version of literature familiar today, was an international invention, but it was forged when literary cultures, traditions, and publishing industries were mainly organized nationally. Literature in the Making examines modern literature's coalescence and institutionalization in the United States, considered as an instructive instance of a phenomenon that was going global. Since modern literature initially offered a way to formulate the value of legacy texts by authors such as Homer, Cervantes, and Shakespeare, however, the development of literature and literary culture in the U.S. was fundamentally transnational. Literature in the Making argues that Shakespeare studies, one of the richest tracts of nineteenth-century U.S. literary culture, was a key domain in which literature came to be valued both for fuelling modern projects and for safeguarding values and practices that modernity put at risk-a foundational paradox that continues to shape literary studies and literary culture. Bringing together the histories of literature's competing conceptualizations, its print infrastructure, its changing status in higher education, and its life in public culture during the long nineteenth century, Literature in the Making offers a robust account of how and why literature mattered then and matters now. By highlighting the lively collaboration between academics and non-academics that prevailed before the ascendancy of the research university starkly divided experts from amateurs, Literature in the Making also opens new possibilities for envisioning how academics might partner with the reading public.

Download or read book Three American Hegels written by Ryan J. Johnson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three American Hegels explores Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s influence on three seminal, yet overlooked, philosophers: Henry C. Brokmeyer, Horace Williams, and John William Miller. Each of them was, in his own way, both an apprentice of Hegel and a true American original: Brokmeyer, the backwoods translator of Hegel; Williams, the mentor of Southern Hegelianism; Williams, the Hegelian teacher of democracy. Until now, their influence on the one school of philosophy that is distinctly grounded in the U.S. experience—pragmatism—has been overlooked, along with the intellectual history of how their contributions developed. Such neglect has resulted in an underestimation of the role that the theories of Hegel played in the development of American philosophy. To unearth these formative yet forgotten works and influences, Johnson explores their respective untapped archives and unearths a three-generation story of a Hegel that is thoroughly practical, concrete, and alive.

Download or read book Ideology and the Ideologists written by Lewis S. Feuer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revival of ideology, which began early in the second half of the last century, has led to reconsideration of the following questions: What underlies the pattern of the rise and decline of the ideological mode of thought? What leads young intellectuals to search for an ideology? What accounts for the changes in ideological fashion over time and nation, and shifts from one set of philosophical tenets to another? Who indeed are the ""intellectuals?""Studies of ideology have tended to range themselves for or against particular viewpoints, or have concerned themselves with defining perspectives. The purpose of this book is to examine the common causal patterns in the development of various differing ideologies. Feuer finds that any ideology may be said to be composed of three ingredients: The most basic and invariant is some form of Mosaic myth. Every ideology also has its characteristic philosophical tenets spreading from left to right, which conform to the cycle of ideas; and, finally, an ideology must be taken up by some section of the population who can translate it into action.Intellectuals in generational revolt find in some version of the ideological myth a charter and dramatization of their emotions, aims, and actions. Since each generation of intellectuals tends to reject its predecessors' doctrines, a law of intellectual fashion arises the alternation of philosophical doctrines. Ideology has inevitably made for an authoritarian presumption on the part of master-intellectuals and marginal ones and assumes their antagonism to objective truth and science. It is Feuer's contention that only when intellectuals abandon ideology in favor of science or scholarship will an unfortunate chapter in the history of human unreasonbe overcome.
Download or read book German Culture in Nineteenth century America written by Lynne Tatlock and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2005 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume examines the circulation and adaptation of German culture in the United States during the so-called long nineteenth century - the century of mass German migration to the new world, of industrialization and new technologies, American westward expansion and Civil War, German struggle toward national unity and civil rights, and increasing literacy on both sides of the Atlantic. Building on recent trends in the humanities and especially on scholarship done under the rubric of cultural transfer, German Culture in Nineteenth-Century America places its emphasis on the processes by which Americans took up, responded to, and transformed German cultural material for their own purposes. Informed by a conception of culture as multivalent, permeable, and protean, the book focuses on the mechanisms, agents, and means of mediation between cultural spaces."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The St Louis Hegelians written by Michael H. DeArmey and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-02-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The St. Louis Hegelians are an almost entirely forgotten phenomenon today. Yet those who happen upon their works today are nearly always astounded by them -- by their depth and sophistication, by their imaginative analysis of American history, and by the boldness with which they moved beyond the dogmas of nineteenth-century individualism to posit a fresh vision of the modern nation-state, and the individual's stake in it. All the more reason, then, to be grateful for this generous selection of their works, which will make their ideas accessible once again, and remind us of the extraordinary burst of creative energy and dialectical imagination they embodied.' --Wilfred M. McClay These three volumes make available rare primary source material that will greatly facilitate research on the St. Louis Hegelians. The thought and activities of this loosely organized group of philosophers was instrumental in the crucial shift from nineteenth-century laissez-faire individualism to the institutional liberalism of the Progressive Era, and they influenced intellectuals as diverse as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, John Dewey, and Jane Addams. The first volume of this collection focuses on the origins of the movement, the St. Louis Hegelian's critique of 'brittle individualism,' and the 'agnostic materialism' of Herbert Spencer. The volume features articles by principal St. Louis Hegelians -- W. T. Harris and Denton Snider -- and includes debates with American and European intellectuals -- G. S. Morris, Augusto Vera, Karl Rosenkranz and Franz Hoffman -- about the ability of Hegel's dialectic to account adequately for the reality of the individual within the greater whole. The second volume includes essays by Snider, Harris, Rosenkranz, Thomas Davidson and Adolph Kroeger, and focuses on the St. Louis Hegelians' philosophical interpretation of American history, especially the Civil War, and their efforts to develop a philosophy of cultural and national unification. Volume three is a collection of the St. Louis Hegelians' writings on aesthetics and art history, a crucial element of their philosophy of cultural unification, and includes articles by Henry Conrad Brokmeyer, Morris, Snider, Davidson and William Bryant. As a whole, these volumes demonstrate the St. Louis Hegelians' engagement with a wide variety of intellectuals and philosophical issues, and reveal their centrist social and political philosophy. Making an extensive selection of scarce and out of print materials available, this set allows a full assessment of the movement for the first time. --provides primary source material on the St. Louis Hegelians that has been out of print for many decades --demonstrates the St. Louis Hegelians' influence on many important American intellectuals and the part they played in the transition from nineteenth-century individualistic liberalism to Progressive Era institutional liberalism --demonstrates the appeal of Hegel to American intellectuals and reveal the ways they sought to adapt Hegel's thought to the American context, in many ways anticipating twentieth-century readings of Hegel --all materials are reset, annotated, indexed and enhanced by new editorial introductions

Download or read book The Legacy of Hegel written by J.J. O'Malley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume represents the proceedings of the Marquette Hegel Symposium, held at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on June 2-5, 1970. The Symposium, celebrating the two-hundredth annivers ary of Hegel's birth, was presented under the combined sponsorship of the Philosophy Department of Marquette University, the American Coun cil of Learned Societies, and the Johnson Foundation of Racine, Wiscon sin. Its general theme embraced not only specific topics of interest in con temporary Hegel studies, but also the wider aspects of the influences and impact of Hegel's thought upon contemporary philosophical, political, and social problems. Principal contributors and panelists were selected for their scholarly achievements in Hegel studies and also in keeping with the broad view of the Hegelian legacy in current thought. All sessions of the Symposium were plenary, and designed for maximum discussion and in terchange among participants. The Symposium Committee regrets that it has not been feasible to incorporate the transcript of the discussions (ex cept for the round-table discussion on editing and translating Hegel) into this volume. The papers presented in each day's sessions are published here with editorial changes and corrections made by their respective authors. The papers by Professors Otto Poggeler and Eric Weil were originally trans lated by members of our Committee: the present versions incorporate many changes and corrections made by their authors. The comments on each paper were brought into their present form only after the Symposium, and in the light of the discussions which took place during it.
Download or read book The Philosophy of Education of William Torrey Harris in the Annual Reports written by Peter M. Collins and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intertwining careers of William Torrey Harris (1835-1909) converge in twelve of the Annual Reports of the Board of Directors for St. Louis Public Schools. Harris formulated most of the essential features of these twelve reports as the Superintendent of Schools from 1867 to 1869. These particular reports--which have been acclaimed nationally and internationally--are said to be among the most valuable official publications in American educational literature. They are far different from the descriptive documents originally intended by their author. This study demonstrates that Harris provided an authentic philosophy of education, a set of interrelated philosophical principles and their applications to educational problems. The substance of Harris's philosophy of education is focused upon a broadly based philosophical anthropology in relationship primarily to the purposes, curriculum, and teaching methods in intellectual, moral, and religious education.
