In 1922 Charles Hartshorne, then an aspiring young philosopher,
wrote to Edgar Sheffield Brightman, a preeminent philosopher of
religion and one of the earliest members of the Boston School of
Personalism. For twenty-three subsequent years, the two carried out
an unusually rich and intensive correspondence, and, remarkably,
almost every letter was preserved. They are presented here along
with additional material that follows the philosophers' lives and
interactions after 1945, when Brightman's ill health prevented him
from continuing the correspondence. Hartshorne (1897-) has been
called ""the world's greatest living metaphysician."" But when the
correspondence began, he was just a graduate student, while
Brightman (1884-1953) was already an influential philosopher and
theologian. Over time, as Hartshorne gained prominence, the letters
reveal first a relationship of equals and eventually a reversal of
roles as the younger man began to influence his former mentor.
Hartshorne's sustained critique of Brightman's epistemological and
metaphysical position eventually led to important shifts in
Brightman's views. In their introductory essays, editors Randall
Auxier and Mark Davies place the correspondence in its intellectual
context and address the relationship between personalism and
process philosophy/theology in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics,
and social philosophy. Theologians and philosophers in a wide range
of specialties will welcome this record of an enduring intellectual
friendship.
