Moore.The second part of the book covers American philosophy, starting with the Transcendentalists and the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Rogers then moves on to the pragmatism of William James and Charles Sanders Peirce, as well as the work of John Dewey and other American philosophers.Throughout the book, Rogers provides a critical analysis of each philosopher's work and places them in the context of their time and intellectual environment. He also discusses the influence of each philosopher on subsequent philosophical movements and thinkers.English And American Philosophy Since 1800: A Critical Survey is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of philosophical thought in England and America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
