Hardcover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The term "rationalism", dating from around the middle of the 17th century, is usually understood as the philosophical outlook which stresses the power of reason over faith, emotion or instinct. This text collects together those figures who have championed the cause of rationalism over three centuries, including theists, pantheists, atheists, materialists, agnostics, secularists, monists, and positivists. It contains not only philosophers but teachers of science, political theorists, historians, and artists. Each entry in the book lists the subject's birth and death dates, details of their education and occupation, and evidence of their rationalist views. European, American and minor figures are included. McCabe (1867-1955) was one of the foremost atheists. He produced nearly 250 books and pamphlets and was a founding member of Britain's Rationalist Press Association. Leaving the priesthood to devote his life to furthering the cause of rationalism and free thought, he had no doubt that when human knowledge was complete materialism would prove to be the correct theory of reality. Included are entries on: Sir Leslie Stephen; Robert Owen; Francois Quesnay; Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley; Bernard Bosanquet; and Jean Bodin. " (Publisher). Book.…

Hardcover. Etat : As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Volume 1 in the Thoemmes series: Darwin's Impact. "Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection stunned the halls of biology, anthropology, and religion, its most profound repercussion in America was "Social Darwinism". Beginning in the 1880s, William Graham Summer and his successors pushed "survival of the fittest" beyond biology to justify power, wealth, and even racial and gender superiority. Theodore Roosevelt and Stephen B. Luce championed military expansionism on Darwinian grounds, and eugenicist Charles B. Davenport urged selective breeding to propogate the strong and eradicate the physically and mentally infirm. Despite its widespread popularity, after the turn of the century Social Darwinism was challenged by a growing rank of philosophers, sociologists, and economists who argued that the movement thrived on bigotry and bad science. By the 1920s the countermovement led by Lester F. Ward, John Dewey, Charles H. Cooley, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Thorstein Veblen had proven itself the "fitter" of the two. This three-volume set features more than sixty essays from 1880 to 1920, most of which have never been anthologized and are now scarce. Volume 1: "Social Darwinism and its critics" offers William Graham Summer's defense of Social Darwinism and its criticism from sociologists and philosophers such as Lester F. Ward, James Mark Baldwin, Charles H. Cooley, Jacob Gould Schurman, John Dewey, and Arthur M. Lewis. Volume 2: "Race, Gender, and Supremacy" rekindles the volatile clash over issues of race, gender, eugenics, and American supremacy, from authors including Nathanial S. Shaler, Lydia Kingsmill Commander, Charles B. Davenport, Charles A. Ellwood, Theodore Roosevelt, Franz Boas, Edward A. Ross, and Charles H. Cooley. Volume 3: "Evolution, Law, and Economics" explores the impact of evolution on theories of natural law and economics, including pieces from William Graham Sumner, Thomas Nixon Carver, Andrew Carnegie, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis D. Brandeis, Simon Nelson Patten, and Thorstein Veblen." (Publisher). Book.…

"Samuel Jones Loyd (1796-1883), first Baron Overstone, had an influence over cabinets and chancellors of the exchequer and the running and the laws of the Bank of England. Besides his own banking interests which made him one of the richest men in England, and his many tracts on currency and banking subjects, his library in Reading (which included over 10,000 volumes from his friend J.R. McCulloch) has become a major resource for economic scholars worldwide. This text provides a transcription of some 923 letters to and from Lord Overstone between 1804 and 1883. Overstone maintained that he had destroyed his correspondence before he died. The editor's discovery of some 350 in 1964 now offers an understanding of Overstone, a figure important in 19th-century currency debates, and an active director of the Bank of England for over 50 years. Correspondents include J.R. McCullogh, Robert Torrens, and George Warde Norman. With biographical sketches of all named people included in the footnotes, plus introductions, appendices, and indices, this collection forms a source for the understanding of 19th-century banking and political economy in Britain. Volume 1 (June 1884-September 1849) includes all the introductory material, an index to the biographical sketches, the editorial introduction, biographical information about Overstone and an essay on his thought, and the first 197 letters. Volume 2 (September 1849-December 1861) includes the correspondence between Overstone and a variety of figures. Volume 3 (December 1861-1883) features further correspondence, and 19 appendices reproducing papers by Overstone and others on financial matters, and an index. The letters are chronologically arranged and coded to denote the following principal subject areas: currency, monetary problems, and the level of activity; decimal coinage; politics (domestic and foreign); personal and social; pauperism and distress; public finance; Political Economy Club; trade policy; peerage; London University; statistics; limited liability; sale of Jones Loyds; and savings bank" (Publisher).

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "This series reprints classic works illustrating the cultural and intellectual life of Scotland during one of its most creative and dynamic periods: the second half of the eighteenth century. It was the age of the mature Scottish Enlightenment, when Scotland, to the surprise of most Europeans, became one of the leading cultural and intellectual centres of the western world. Although the writings of some eighteenth-century Scottish thinkers, such as David Hume and Adam Smith, are widely available, many others are scarce. This series will regularly publish groups of thematically connected titles, most of which have not been reprinted for a century or more, many with specially commissioned new introductions."

Collecting hundreds of 18th- and 19th-century critical publications on Hume's philosophical, literary, political, economic and historical writings, the text includes book extracts, reviews and critical pamphlets. Many of the volumes' sections have not been reprinted since their original publications into English. They should be a useful reference source for scholars across a range of disciplines. Volumes Seven and Eight contain responses to all volumes of Hume's "History". Topics include Hume's religious attacks in the "History", Hume's charge that Protestant reformers were fanatical, Hume's sympathetic portrayal of Charles I, comparison of Hume's "History" with Robertson's, and whether Hume plagiarized Carte's "History".
