English and American Philosophy Since 1800

"English and American Philosophy Since 1800" provides a comprehensive and critical survey of the major intellectual currents that defined the English-speaking world throughout the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century. Arthur Kenyon Rogers offers a rigorous examination of the evolution of thought, tracing the development of philosophical systems from the aftermath of the Enlightenment to the rise of modern realism and pragmatism.

The work meticulously analyzes the shifting landscape of metaphysics, ethics, and logic, exploring the influence of key thinkers and the reaction to continental movements such as Kantianism and Hegelianism. By focusing on the distinctive characteristics of both the British and American traditions, Rogers highlights the impact of evolutionary theory, the growth of naturalism, and the persistent tension between idealism and empiricism. This volume serves as an essential historical guide for scholars and students interested in the foundations of contemporary Anglo-American thought, providing a clear narrative of how philosophical inquiry adapted to the scientific and social changes of the era. Through its deep engagement with the primary debates of the period, the book remains a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual heritage of the modern West.
