"A colorful reinterpretation... Stewart's wit and profluent prose make this book a fascinating read."-Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A devastating bombardment of managerial thinking and the profession of management consulting...A serious and valuable polemic." -Wall Street Journal

This is a story about a dangerous idea-one which ignited revolutions in America, France, and Haiti; burst across Europe in the revolutions of 1848; and returned to inflame a new generation of intellectuals to lead the abolition movement-the idea that all men are created equal.In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America's antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln's most famous lines, and a feisty band of German refugees, philosopher and historian Matthew Stewart tells a vivid and piercing story of the battle between America's philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America-and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.

This is a story about a dangerous idea-that all men are created equal-which ignited revolutions in America, France and Haiti; burst across Europe in the revolutions of 1848; and returned to inflame a new generation of intellectuals to lead the abolition movement. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's odd, buried allusions to the same rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker (a minister too radical even for the Unitarians, whose work provided some of Lincoln's most famous lines) and a feisty band of German refugees, Matthew Stewart's vivid storytelling and piercing insights forge a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America-and offer a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.

The book ""The Distance Of The Sun From The Earth Determined, By The Theory Of Gravity"" was written by Matthew Stewart and was first published in 1763. The book is a scientific treatise that discusses the theory of gravity and its application to the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.Stewart begins the book by introducing the concept of gravity and explaining how it is responsible for the motion of the planets in the solar system. He then goes on to describe the methods that have been used in the past to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, including the transit of Venus method and the parallax method.Stewart then presents his own theory for calculating the distance between the Earth and the Sun based on the principles of gravity. He describes in detail the mathematical equations and formulas that he used to arrive at his conclusion, and he discusses the various factors that can affect the accuracy of his calculations.Throughout the book, Stewart provides detailed explanations and illustrations to help readers understand the complex concepts he is discussing. He also includes historical references and examples to show how the study of gravity and the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun have evolved over time.Overall, ""The Distance Of The Sun From The Earth Determined, By The Theory Of Gravity"" is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the scientific principles behind the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of modern astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Poetry. Twenty years in the writing, THE KNIVES OF VILLALEJO is Matthew Stewart's first full collection. Stretching from suburban Surrey to the vineyards of Extremadura, Spain, its poems' delicate syllablic structures belie the vast wells of emotion beneath. Throughout the collection, brevity and apparent simplicity pack an unexpected punch -- each line, each poem, a perfectly poised, discrete drop, held together by the tensions of home and exile, then and now, before and after. Together, they form a pent-up storm.

A startling, paradigm-shifting exploration of the revolutionary part of the American Revolution: the ideas that changed the world for good.

Philosophy in the late 17th century was a dangerous business. No careerist could afford to know the reclusive philosopher Baruch de Spinoza. Gottfried Leibniz became obsessed with Spinoza's writings and called on Spinoza in person at his home. This work is a philosophical romance of attraction and repulsion, greed and virtue, religion and heresy.
