Excerpt from Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century What of values? Kant felt impelled to make judgments in this field as universal as our phenomenal judgments. It is this aspect of his system that brings Mr. Mead to speak of him as the philosopher of the revolution, a rather startling thing to say of the staid and orderly little German professor. Let us go back a moment. When the scientist of the Renais sance carried over from the teachings of the church the notion of a rational universe, he posited this as an assumption. He set it up as a postulate for the guidance Of his thinking. But he came more and more to realize its postulational character. When the church had set up this same concept, it had framed it in the form Of an arbitrary dogma. As such It was imposed on the thought of the time. Lthe essence Of the conflict which is referred to in the general terhi' the revolution is the conflict between the rational authority of the budding science and the arbitrary authority of the church.

Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 1 of 6: The Emigrant Literature IT is'my intention in the present work to trace the outlines of a psychology of the first half of the nineteenth century by means of the study of certain main groups and movements in European literature. The stormy year 1848, a historical turning-point, and hence a break, is the limit to which I purpose following the process of development. The period between the beginning and the middle of the century pre sents the spectacle of many scattered and apparently dis connected literary efforts and phenomena. But he who carefully observes the main currents of literature perceives that their movements are all conditioned by one great lead ing movement with its ebb and flow, namely, the gradual fading away and disappearance of the ideas and feelings of the preceding century, and the return of the idea of progress in new, ever higher-mounting waves.

Excerpt from The Reformation of the Nineteenth Century: A Series of Historical Sketches Dealing With the Rise and Progress of the Religious Movement Inaugurated by Thomas and Alexander Campbell From Its Origin to the Close of the Nineteenth Century The religious reformation inaugurated by Thomas and Alexander Campbell in western Pennsylvania in 1809, and which subsequently received as a tributary part of the movement begun by Barton W. Stone of Kentucky about the year 1801, has now attained dimensions and standing which make it certain that it is to rank high among the religious forces of this country. Conscious of a high mission, inspired by dauntless hope, and increasing in numbers at a ratio far in excess of older religious bodies, it is destined, during the century upon which we have entered, to become one of the chief factors in molding the religious thought and life of the people of this and other countries. In proportion as any religious movement becomes a potent force in affecting the welfare of mankind, its early history becomes interesting and important. This is especially true of the very beginnings of its history where those influences which have molded its character are most clearly seen.

Excerpt from The Development of English Theology in the Nineteenth Century 1800-1860 This book owes its existence to the generosity of the Master and Fellows of University College, Oxford, who made me a Research Fellow of the College, and so gave me Opportunity for a few years of quiet study. I should like here to thank them very warmly for all their kindness to me. I have found the subject which I have been investigating so wide that 1 have been unable in the time at my disposal to do more than complete a survey of the first sixty years of the nineteenth century; but I hope at a later date to write another volume dealing with the theological development from 1860 - 1900. I trust that I have sufficiently acknowledged in the footnotes my indebtedness to the various writers whom I have consulted. But I desire to express my gratitude to my brother-in-law, Mr. Frank Storr, for reading through the chapters on the Oxford Movement, and for making some valuable criticisms upon them. My uncle, Mr. Reginald Fanshawe, also kindly read through the mss. Of chapters II, VII, and VIII, and I am indebted to him for some suggestions.

Excerpt from Movements of Religious Thought in Britain During the Nineteenth Century I Have undertaken to give in a course of eight lectures some account of the Movements of Religious Thought in our country during the present century. As the subject is in any view a large one, and presents many aspects, it is important at the outset to indicate its exact character and the limits within which I propose to treat it. Our subject then is the Movements of Religious Thought - not of Religion - within the century. Religion is a wide word, with some meanings of which we have nothing to do. The expression 'Religious Thought' may be also more or less widely interpreted; but on any interpretation it leaves outside much be- longing to religion and its life and movement in the world. It leaves outside, for example, not only the large field of practical Christian action, but also that of ecclesiastical and politico-ecclesiastical parties.

Between the publication of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason in 1781 and Husserl’s Ideas in 1913, the nineteenth century is a pivotal period in the philosophy of mind, witnessing the emergence of the phenomenological and analytical traditions which continue to shape philosophical debate in fundamental ways. The nineteenth century also challenged many prevailing assumptions about the transparency of the mind, particularly in the ideas of Nietzsche and Freud, whilst at the same time witnessing the birth of modern psychology in the work of William James. Covering the main figures of German idealism to the birth of the phenomenological movement under Brentano and Husserl, Philosophy of Mind in the Nineteenth Century provides an outstanding survey to these new directions in philosophy of mind. Following an introduction by Sandra Lapointe, fourteen specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors discuss key topics, thinkers and debates, including: German idealism Bolzano Johann Friedrich Herbart Ernst Mach Helmholtz Nietzsche William James Sigmund Freud Brentano’s early philosophy of mind Meinong Christian von Ehrenfels Husserl Natorp. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind, continental philosophy, and the history of philosophy, Philosophy of Mind in the Nineteenth Century is also a valuable resource for those in related disciplines such as Psychology, Religion, and Literature.

Woman in the Nineteenth Century: large print By Margaret Fuller Ossoli A woman of many gifts, Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) is most aptly remembered as America's first true feminist. In her brief yet fruitful life, she was variously author, editor, literary and social critic, journalist, poet, and revolutionary. She was also one of the few female members of the prestigious Transcendentalist movement, whose ranks included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and many other prominent New England intellectuals of the day. As co-editor of the transcendentalist journal, The Dial, Fuller was able to give voice to her groundbreaking social critique on woman's place in society, the genesis of the book that was later to become Woman in the Nineteenth Century. Published in 1843, this essay was entitled "The Great Lawsuit: Man versus Men, Woman versus Women." First published in book form in 1845, Woman in the Nineteenth Century was correctly perceived as the controversial document that it was: receiving acclaim and achieving popular success in some quarters (the first printing sold out within a week), at the same time that it inspired vicious attacks from opponents of the embryonic women's movement. In this book, whose style is characterized by the trademark textual diversity of the transcendentalists, Fuller articulates values arising from her passionate belief in justice and equality for all humankind, with a particular focus on women. Although her notion of basic rights certainly includes those of an educational, economic, and legal nature, it is intellectual expansion and changes in the prevailing attitudes towards women (by men and women) that Fuller cherishes far above the superficial manifestations of liberation. A classic of feminist thought that helped bring about the Seneca Falls Women's Convention three years after its publication, Woman in the Nineteenth Centuryinspired her contemporaries Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to speak of Fuller as possessing "more influence upon the thought of American women than any woman previous to her time." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.
