Extrait : L'Hudson River School (école de l'Hudson) est un mouvement artistique né aux États-Unis du siècle, fondé par un groupe de peintres du paysage influencés par le romantisme. L'Hudson River School regroupe plusieurs peintres américains qui travaillèrent des années 1820 aux années 1870. En réalité, l'expression a été forgée qu'en 1879. Premier mouvement pictural né aux États-Unis, Thomas Cole (1801-1848) est considéré comme son fondateur. Ce dernier s'installa à Catskill (état de New York) en 1836, et fut imité par d'autres peintres formant ainsi l'école de l'Hudson. Les peintres de la première génération s'attachent à représenter la vallée de l'Hudson River et ses alentours, mais aussi les Catskill Mountains, les Adirondacks et les montagnes Blanches, dans le Nord-Est des États-Unis. Ils figurent essentiellement des paysages sur de grands formats. Les artistes de l'Hudson River School appliquent la philosophie du Sublime. Ils pensent que la Nature est la manifestation de la puissance et de la bonté divine. Les paysages préservés des États-Unis sont comparés au Paradis originel. Après la mort de Thomas Cole en 1848, Asher Durand (1796-1886) prit la tête du mouvement. Celui-ci devint le président de la National Academy of Design et codifia les règles de la peinture du paysage. Pourtant, les peintres de l'Hudson River School ne sont pas issus des mêmes milieux sociaux et n'ont pas exactement le même style. Beaucoup d'entre eux travaillent dans le Studio Building sur West Tenth Street à New York. La seconde génération de l'Hudson River S...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

INTRODUCTION

A question which every author ought to ask of himself before he sends forth his work, and one which must occur to every thoughtful reader, is the inquiry, _Cui bono?_--what justification has one for treating the subject at all, and why in the particular way which he has chosen? To the pertinency of this question to the present treatise the author has been deeply sensible, and therefore cannot forbear a few prefatory words of explanation of his object and method.

In accounts of the theistic argument, as in the history of philosophy in general, it has been customary to pass over a space of well-nigh ten centuries of the Christian era in silence, or with such scanty and unsympathetic notice as to make silence the better alternative. Largely through the influence of such treatment as this, we moderns have almost forgotten at times that during this period there lived men inferior to none in history in endowments of mind and influence on succeeding generations, and that there then took place some of the most significant and far-reaching intellectual conflicts in the history of thought. "With Cicero," says Professor Stirling, "we reached in our course a most important and critical halting-place.... We have still ... to wait those thousand years yet before Anselm shall arrive with what is to be named the new proof, the proof ontological, and during the entire interval it is the Fathers of the Church and their immediate followers who, in repetition of the old, or suggestion of the new, connect thinker with thinker, philosopher with philosopher, pagan with Christian."[1] To attempt to account for even one of the details of thought during this period cannot be without its advantages.

For Christianity gave a new and unique turn to thought. It brought with it a new set of data, and a new subject-matter. The Christian doctrine of God, the distinctions in the Trinity, the great doctrines centering around the person of Jesus Christ, though, perhaps, faintly foreshadowed in some of the earlier speculations, are, in their fulness and completeness, first given to the world by the Founder of Christianity. The claims made for these doctrines, too, gave them a unique character. In contrast with the half-hearted, faltering conclusions of the prevalent philosophical schools, Christianity asserted that its teachings were absolute truth; it claimed to be nothing less than a revelation from the Creator of the world. It will be readily seen that the introduction of such a system as this into the Greek world would be attended with important results, not only in its effects upon the intellectual life of the times, but also in the influence of the current philosophical conceptions on the statement of its doctrine. The significance of this early period lies in the fact that, in the positive, definite system of Christianity, systematic thought, which was fast becoming disorganized and sceptical, found a center about which it might rally and focus itself, and the scattered fragments of philosophy were all collected together, by either friends or foes, about the new religion. The new point of view and the new relations would be most significant, too, in that department of thought with which the contact of this new central system had most to do, and thus the treatment of the theistic problem exhibits in a special degree the alteration in the standpoint and method of philosophy.

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.
