Shadworth Hodgson

HODGSON, SHADWORTH H. (1832-1912).

Autograph Letter Signed.

This nonacademic English philosopher was a companion of William James, with whom he belonged to the London group "Scratch Eight"; he was the first president (1880-94) of the Aristotelian Society; among his books are "The Metaphysic of Experience," "The Philosophy of Reflection" and "Time and Space." ALS, 3pp, 4½" X 7", Lincolnshire, England, 1870 July 18. Addressed to "My dear Harris." Very good. Good content referring to the political situation in France. In part: "If you go to Paris now you will find it at a most interesting time, in all the fever of the beginning of the war. I think their going to war on the part of France, out of pure jealousy of Prussia, utilised by Napoleon for the supposed interest of his own dynasty, is treason to the cause of civilisation and the union of Western Europe.." Sure enough, France declared war on Prussia the very day after Hodgson penned this letter. Mentions his summer plans ("quietly and steadily reading in London in August, when London is empty, and though hot not feverish"). A handsome and interesting example. From the collection of University of Chicago geology professor Albert Johannsen (1871-1962), author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" (1950), the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder, bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label (partly filled in by Johannsen), accompanies this item. .

HODGSON, SHADWORTH H[OLLOWAY] (1832-1912),

Metaphysic of Experience.

Bristol: Thoemmes Press, [2000]. 4 volumes. 1900pp. Green cloth with painted red spine labels. Very fine copies. Facsimile reprint of the original 1898 London edition. Founder of the Aristotelian Society, Hodgson considerably influenced James and Peirce and stoutly defended epiphenomenalism, which theory he first articulated in his 1870 Theory of Practice. Though in large part working within the framework of Kantian Categories, Hodgson's work is in many ways similar to Husserl's phenomenology, with the major difference that Hodgson grounds consciousness on its neural substrate (thus its epiphenomenal nature). A subtle and important thinker, Hodgson slipped into nearly complete neglect in the 20th century when the Anglo-American philosophical tradition moved in a different direction. Volume 4 includes three useful discussions of Hodgson: G. F. Stout's "The Philosophy of Mr. Shadworth Hodgson," Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, vol. 1 (1892), pp. 107-120; H. Wildon Carr's "Shadworth Hollway Hodgson," Mind, vol. 21 ns (1912), pp. 473-85; G. Dawes Hicks' "Shadworth Hollway Hodgson," Proceedings of the British Academy, vol. 6 (1913), pp. 508-16. 6 pounds 4.0 ounces = 2.9 kg. 8.9 x 5.8 x 6.2 inches = 22.2 x 14.5 x 15.5cm. ISBN: 1855068362.
