Part One of English Philosophy in a Hundred Years: English philosophy played a prominent role in shaping modern philosophical thought from the mid-nineteenth century until the mid-twentieth century, presenting multiple and influential philosophical schools. In this book, author Rudolf Metz traces the development of English philosophy, beginning with the Scottish School founded by Thomas Reid, then the utilitarian, empiricist, and naturalistic evolutionary schools, all the way to the New Idealist movement influenced by German philosophy. It also deals with pragmatism founded by Peirce, and reviews old and new realism, the philosophy of mathematical logic and natural science. The book combines a history of the major philosophical schools with an analysis of the ideas that shaped these time periods. Mets adds a personal dimension through his discussions with a number of English philosophers, making the book a valuable source for understanding English philosophy and its developments.
