Nineteenth Century Questions (1897)

Nineteenth Century Questions is a book written by James Freeman Clarke and first published in 1897. It is a collection of essays and lectures that Clarke gave during the 19th century, addressing various philosophical, social, and religious questions that were prevalent at the time. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different topic. The first part focuses on the question of God and the nature of religion, discussing topics such as the existence of God, the problem of evil, and the relationship between religion and science. The second part deals with social issues, including topics such as slavery, women's rights, and the role of government in society. The third and final part of the book is devoted to literary and artistic criticism, with essays on topics such as Shakespeare, Emerson, and the art of the novel. Throughout the book, Clarke presents his own views on these various topics, drawing on his extensive knowledge of philosophy, theology, and literature. He also engages with the ideas of other prominent thinkers of his time, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and John Stuart Mill. Overall, Nineteenth Century Questions provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual and cultural debates of the 19th century, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
