This volume is devoted to a critical discussion and re-appraisal of the work of Anglo-American
Idealists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Idealism was the dominant philosophy in
Britain and the entire English-speaking world during the last decades of the nineteenth century
and the beginning of the twentieth. The British Idealists made important contributions to logic
metaphysics aesthetics ethics social and political philosophy philosophy of history
philosophy of religion and philosophy of mind. Their legacy awaits further exploration and
reassessment and this book is a contribution to this task. The essays in this collection
display many aspects of contemporary concern with idealistic philosophy: they range from
treatments of logic to consideration of the Absolute personal idealism the philosophy of
religion philosophy of art philosophy of action and moral and political philosophy. During
the first decade of the twenty-first century the work of the Anglo-American Idealists has once
again been widely discussed and re-considered and new pathways of research and investigation
have been opened.
