Download or read book Dictionary of Early American Philosophers written by John R. Shook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 1252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.

For another, the volume attends not only those areas in which Scotland was closely linked to the Americas, but also to those where it was not.

Download or read book Brief Retrospect to the 18th Century written by Samuel Miller and published by Thoemmes. This book was released on 2001-08-15 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miller's A Brief Retrospect of the Eighteenth Century was one of the first attempts to give a comprehensive account of the intellectual history of American thought. Encompassing a wide range of topics, the 2-volume work traces in detail the developments in American science, art and literature, taking in comparisons with other traditions. The study includes a thorough review of the history of philosophy, with discussions of Hume, Berkeley, Newton, Kant, Descartes and Malebranche, among others. There are also interesting sections on American biblical scholarship, on the impact of Scottish moral philosophy on enlightened America, and critiques of Darwin and Priestley. 'His two volumes stand as an amazing effort at synthesis. He carries a discussion of language from questions of philology, classic and Oriental studies, to universal grammar. He treats the educational innovations in method and practice, gives an account of literary and scientific societies and publications, and includes discussions of "nations lately become literary", comparing the achievements of America with those of Russia and the Germanies. Richest in detail is his account of intellectual life in America: its colleges, booksellers, libraries, presses, and relative merits of New England and the Middle states.' -- Flower & Murphey, A History of Philosophy in America --comprehensive account of arts, science and literature in America in the 18th century --includes comparisons with the traditions of Germany and Russia --features a new introduction by Roger Fechner

Download or read book From Goosecreek to Gandercleugh written by Andrew Hook and published by John Donald. This book was released on 1999 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost half a century scholars on both sides of the Atlantic have worked hard to highlight the distinctively Scottish contribution to the emergence of America's national culture. In particular the impact of the Scottish Enlightenment on the educational, political and cultural life of the USA in the 18th and early 19th centuries has been widely studied. But the map of Scottish-American cultural relations extends far beyond the confines of the Enlightenment. What this book does is offer a series of explorations of the map in a variety of directions and periods from the 18th century to the early 20th. The importance for America's cultural history of Scottish educators, philosophers, historians, rhetoricians and scientists is recognized, but attention is also paid to the literary aspect of Scotland's cultural contribution to America, and the author takes in major figures from both sides of the Atlantic from Walter Scott to William Faulkner. From Goosecreek to Gandercleugh offers widely-ranging insights into the intriguing story of the Scottish-American cultural connection.
