Book Description
Excerpt from Causation and Freedom in Willing: Together With Man a Creative First Cause, and Kindred Papers The two letters to John Stuart Mill, contained in this volume, were the result of my grandfather's conversations and correspondence with that distinguished man. However they might differ in opinion, they entertained only the friendliest feelings towards each other. Mr. Mill was the most candid and generous of antagonists, giving all the praise he could, and differing in the most courteous way. The letters were published in 1869. Mr. Mill writes of them, May 18, 1870: "Your present book confirms and increases the impression I already had of your acuteness, argumentative power, and perfect fairness, both in considering the subject and in discussing it. I do not think that your side of the question has ever been better represented. The book, like your previous ones, does honor to American thought. It seems to me, however, to mark that the discussion between us has reached the point at which there is no advantage in our carrying it any further; since the region of difference between us instead of narrowing, as is the case in controversies likely to have a successful issue, is, on the contrary, very much enlarged.

Book Description
This book gives the first complete, fully historicized account of Emerson's metaphysics of cause and effect and its foundational position in his philosophy as a whole. Urbas tells the story of the making of a metaphysician and in so doing breaks with the postmodern, anti-metaphysical readings that have dominated Emerson scholarship since his philosophical rehabilitation began in late 1970s. This is an intellectual biography of Emerson the metaphysician but also a chapter in the cultural life-story of a concept synonymous, in the Transcendentalist period, with life itself, the story of the principle at the origin of all being and change. Emerson's Metaphysics proposes an account of Emerson's metaphysical thought as it unfolds in his writings, as it informs his philosophy as a whole, and as it reflects the intellectual and religious culture in which he lived and moved and had his being. This book will be of interest to philosophers, literary scholars, and students of English, philosophy, and intellectual and religious history who are interested in Emerson and the American Transcendentalist movement.

Book Description
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.
