It is fitting that some report should be made of the influences that have shaped the national mind, and determined in any important degree or respect its intellectual and moral character. A well-considered account of these influences would be of very great value to the student of history, the statesman and philosopher, not merely as throwing light on our own social problem, but as illustrating the general law of human progress. Transcendentalism, as it is called, the transcendental movement, was an important factor in American life, and this book is offered as a modest contribution to that knowledge. Though local in activity, limited in scope, brief in duration, engaging but a comparatively small number of individuals, and passing over the upper regions of the mind, it left a broad and deep trace on ideas and institutions. Sufficient references are given for the direction of students who may wish to become more intimately acquainted with the transcendental philosophy, but an exhaustive survey of the speculative field has not been attempted. This book has but one purpose--to define the fundamental ideas of the philosophy, to trace them to their historical and speculative sources, and to show whither they tended.

The most general and obvious division of the history of philosophy is into ancient and modern; the former extending from the earliest times of which we have historic record to the Christian era; the latter embracing the course of philosophic thought within that era. For us, with the records and resources at our present command, the history of Ancient Philosophy must be chiefly that of Grecian philosophy. It is the first pure philosophy known to us, the first earnest attempt to reach by speculative inquiry the sources of knowledge and the causes of things, of which we have any full and satisfactory account. We then move to other schools of philosophy. These schools follow each other in the logical development of thought and in the main also chronologically, though not always strictly so.
