{"product_id":"9781845407346","title":"John Grote, Cambridge University and the Development of Victorian Thought","description":"John Grote struggled to construct an intelligible account of philosophy at a time when radical change and sectarian conflict made understanding and clarity a rarity. This book answers three questions:\u003cbr\u003e* How did John Grote develop and contribute to modern Cambridge and British philosophy?\u003cbr\u003e* What is the significance of these contributions to modern philosophy in general and British Idealism and language philosophy in particular?\u003cbr\u003e* How were his ideas and his idealism incorporated into the modern philosophical tradition?\u003cbr\u003eGrote influenced his contemporaries, such as his students Henry Sidgwick and John Venn, in both style and content; he forged a brilliantly original philosophy of knowledge, ethics, politics and language, from a synthesis of the major British and European philosophies of his day; his social and political theory provide the origins of the 'new liberal' ideas later to reach their zenith in the writings of Green, Sidgwick, and Collingwood; he founded the 'Cambridge style' associated with Moore, Russell, Broad, McTaggart and Wittgenstein; and he was also a major influence on Oakeshott.","brand":"Andrews UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163865661680,"sku":"9781845407346","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845407346_p0.jpg?v=1763745209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845407346","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
