An Emancipation of the Mind: Radical Philosophy, the War over Slavery, and the R

Description: An Emancipation of the Mind by Matthew Stewart Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description How a band of antislavery leaders recovered the radical philosophical inspirations of the first American Revolution to defeat the slaveholders oligarchy in the American Civil War Publisher Description This is a story about a dangerous idea-that all men are created equal-which ignited revolutions in America, France, and Haiti; burst across Europe in the revolutions of 1848; and returned to inflame a new generation of intellectuals to lead the abolition movement. Frederick Douglasss unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincolns odd, buried allusions to the same rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker (a minister too radical even for the Unitarians, whose work provided some of Lincolns most famous lines) and a feisty band of German refugees, Matthew Stewarts vivid storytelling and piercing insights forge a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America-and offer a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today. Author Biography Matthew Stewart is an independent philosopher and historian who has written extensively about the philosophical origins of the American republic. His work has appeared in?The Atlantic,?The?Washington Post,?The Wall Street Journal, and more. He is currently based in London.
