Cushing, Jr. (pencil signatures dated January 1, 1839). bcj 322793. Compilation of writings by three French philosophers edited and with notes by American Transcendentalist writer and critic George Ripley (1802–1880). Ripley was an original member of the Transcendental Club with his cousin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and in 1841 was the founder of the experimental utopian community Brook Farm. Philosophical Miscellanies comprise the first two volumes of a 14-volume series, edited by Ripley, Margaret Fuller, William Henry Channing, and other Transcendentalists, entitled “Specimens of Foreign Standard Literature.” Here Ripley translates and adds commentary and critical notes on select writings of philosophers Victor Cousin (1792–1867), Théodore Jouffroy (1796–1842), and Benjamin Constant (1767-1830). “Ripley was a regular contributor to the Christian Examiner in the 1830s, the leading Unitarian theological journal of the day. In all his writing and preaching, he embraced a view of religious truth as ‘intuitive’ rather than empirical and championed the new waves of liberal religious thinking coming out of Europe, represented in the works of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Victor Cousin and others.” (Dictionary of Unitarian & Universalist Biography)Our Stock# 3730605 About Us Established in 1995, Ian Brabner, Rare Americana, LLC buys and sells rare and antiquarian books and historical manuscripts published or created in pre-1900 America.
