Idealism S.
1 total work
Edward Caird (1835-1908) was a central figure in the development of British Idealism. He heavily influenced D.G. Ritchie, Henry Jones and William Wallace, and played a significant role in establishing both Kantianism and Hegelianism as two of the most important philosophical schools in the present Anglo-American world. He made contributions to ethical and political philosophy, aesthetics and the philosophy of religion. This collected edition of Caird brings together all his major writings, as well as making available collectively many of his equally important addresses, articles and reviews. Also included are a selection of his letters to newspapers. These writings should be of interest to Kant and Hegel scholars, ethical and political philosophers, as well as aestheticists and historians of this period in the development of British and North American philosophy. This edition includes a comprehensive bibliography and two new introductions by Dr Colin Tyler: one placing Caird's writings in their broader historical context; the other relating Caird's shorter writings to his practical social, political and religious radicalism.
