In Utilitarianism in the Early American Republic James E. Crimmins
provides a fresh perspective on the history of antebellum American
political thought. Based on a broad-ranging study of the
dissemination and reception of utilitarian ideas in the areas of
constitutional politics, law education, law reform, moral theory
and political economy, Crimmins illustrates the complexities of the
place of utilitarianism in the intellectual ferment of the times,
in both its secular and religious forms, intersection with other
doctrines, and practical outcomes. The pragmatic character of
American political thought revealed-culminating in the postbellum
rise of Pragmatism-stands in marked contrast to the conventional
interpretations of intellectual history in this period.
Utilitarianism in the Early American Republic will be of interest
to academic specialists, and graduate and senior undergraduate
students engaged in the history of political thought, moral
philosophy and legal philosophy, particularly scholars with
interests in utilitarianism, the trans-Atlantic transfer of ideas,
the American political tradition and modern American intellectual
history.
