  • ...a significant addition to the current literature on Anglo-American Idealism. Scholars and students interested in the history and philosophy of the Anglo-American Idealist movement will appreciate it both as a source of insightful analyses and also as a reliable guide to further research. Intellectual historians and anyone having a genuine interest in philosophy will enjoy reading Mander's collection...Anglo-American Idealism, 1865-1927 is a valuable contribution to the reassessment of an important, yet until recently much-neglected school of thought.
    —British Journal for the History of Philosophy     August 2002
  • The scope of this volume constitutes a well-needed comprehensive analysis of come of the important figures and original ideas predominantly associated with the "Anglo-American Idealism" of the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries.
    —Philosophy in Review
Description: At the turn of the century, philosophical thinking on both sides of the Atlantic was dominated by the idealist movement, a school of thought that influenced the rise of both pragmatism and analytic philosophy. The essays in this edited collection introduce and critically assess the central themes of the main Anglo-American idealists, considering the philosophical arguments in their own context and terms, but also connecting them to current debates. The figures and topics covered include T. H. Green on the common good, Edward Caird on evolution, F. H. Bradley on relations, Bosanquet's view of the state, Royce's concept of the absolute, McTaggart's timeless personalism, Joachim's theory of truth, and Collingwood's philosophy of history. The introduction provides a contextual overview of the movement, which, as a philosophy superseded by a "more modern" approach, was first subjected to much hostile criticism, then ignored, and is now once again beginning to interest historians of philosophy.
