At a time when German philosophy was dominated by idealism, German
philosopher and physician Ludwig Buchner (1824-99) wrote Kraft und
Stoff, an influential work advocating materialism, in 1855. It went
through many editions and was widely read across the world. The
controversy surrounding the book led to Buchner leaving his post at
the University of Tubingen, but he went on to establish the German
Freethinkers' League, the first German organisation for atheists.
This book, first published in 1864, is a translation of the eighth
edition, and is edited by J. Frederick Collingwood, who wanted to
bring Buchner's work to an English audience. It contains
translations of the prefaces from the first, third and fourth
editions of Kraft und Stoff, and an introductory letter from
Buchner which expresses his belief that Darwin's theory of
evolution has given support to his materialist theory.
