Borden Parker Bowne: His Life and His Philosophy is a comprehensive exploration of the life, thought, and enduring influence of one of America's most significant philosophical minds. Written by Francis John McConnell, a former student and close associate, this work provides an intimate and intellectually rigorous account of Bowne's development as the leading proponent of Personalism. The book traces Bowne's career at Boston University, where he revolutionized theological and philosophical discourse by centering reality on the conscious, active person.
McConnell masterfully navigates Bowne's complex theories on metaphysics, ethics, and theism, making his profound ideas accessible while maintaining their academic depth. Beyond a mere chronological biography, this volume examines the impact of Bowne's thought on American religious history and its role in shaping modern liberal theology. Readers will find a detailed analysis of Bowne's defense of theistic faith against the rising tides of materialism and impersonalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Borden Parker Bowne: His Life and His Philosophy serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of American philosophy, Methodist history, and the evolution of personalist thought.
