Benjamin Rush was a Founding Father of the United States. Rush
lived in the state of Pennsylvania and was a physician, writer,
educator, humanitarian and a devout Christian, as well as the
founder of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Rush was a
signatory of the Declaration of Independence and attended the
Continental Congress. Later in life, he became a professor of
medical theory and clinical practice at the University of
Pennsylvania. Despite having a wide influence on the development of
American government, he is not as widely known as many of his
American contemporaries. Rush was also an early opponent of slavery
and capital punishment. Despite his great contributions to early
American society, Rush may be more famous today as the man who, in
1812, helped reconcile the friendship of Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams by encouraging the two former Presidents to resume writing to
each other. The editor of the preface of this book gives an in
depth look into Benjamin Rush s life. The writings of Rush, which
are mentioned in this book, show a wide range of interest and
knowledge embracing agriculture and the mechanical arts, chemistry
and medicine, political science, and theology. Including letters he
wrote in effort to dispel prejudice, to fight oppression, and to
elevate the lot of the lowly. Dagobert D. Runes was a philosopher
and author. He was the founding publisher of The Philosophical
Library, where he worked to bring philosophical texts to a general
audience. Runes was a colleague and friend of Albert Einstein and
many other influential philosophers and scientists. Runes is
responsible for publishing an English translation of Marx's On the
Jewish Question, which he published under the title A World without
Jews, and for editing The Dictionary of Philosophy, published in
1942.
