Philosophy, Dissent and Nonconformity forms part of the Doctrine
and Devotion trilogy. The book represents the first attempt to tell
the story of those who taught and wrote philosophy outside the
Anglican-Oxbridge Academy. Dr. Sell investigates the place given to
philosophy in Dissenting academies and Nonconformist colleges
between 1689 and 1920. During this time there were over one hundred
such academies and colleges. The earliest Dissenting academy tutors
and Nonconformist college teachers lived dangerously but they were
seriously concerned with familiarising their students with all
fields of philosophy such as logic, metaphysics, ethics and
theology. The more philosophically talented eighteenth-century
tutors produced books and articles in the field. In particular, the
treatment of moral philosophy has been a prominent concern of a
number of Dissenting philosophers. The author examines the variety
and range of philosophical interests espoused by Dissenters and
Nonconformists in turn. The beliefs and views held by the
philosophers are also examined in detail. This is both an important
and an engaging book on a fascinating subject, and will appeal to
those interested in nonconformist history and the history of
philosophy in academic institutions.
