Reviews
'This is a work of the highest significance ... it promises to be, first, the only contemporary study of a seminal but neglected thinker and, second, an important contribution to the still nascent, yet growing and much-needed, intellectual history of the academic nineteenth century. This marvelous book is a remarkable and groundbreaking accomplishment.' David Sullivan, Metropolitan State University of Denver
'This book is admirable and ambitious, and the scholarship is outstanding. Dr Woodward's command of the diverse, technically complex body of intellectual history is truly impressive.' R. Steven Turner, University of New Brunswick
'Woodward's book offers much previously unavailable information along with many illuminating insights into Lotze's life and thought. It will prove an indispensable resource for those who explore Hermann Lotze and should help spur interest in this most important philosopher of the mid-nineteenth century.' Nikolay Milkov, Metascience
'William Woodward's biography of the philosopher, physician, natural scientist, and psychologist Hermann Lotze (1817-1881) is the first complete intellectual biography of Lotze. It includes an overview of his theories, as well as of his life path. As the title suggests, this biography is oriented toward classical intellectual history and the history of ideas, rather than toward the new(er) cultural history and discourse analysis.' Laura Meneghello, Isis
