Ben, List Thanks for citations. I will study them in some detail and from several perspectives. Very important to me.

My understanding is that they were strongly influenced by the ideas of Lavoisier, Volta and Dalton. If you are aware of German intellectual history, all three were Swabens! I was first introduced to the intertwined lives of these three students in the book by Roberts on German Idealism. It is an excellent summary of the currents in german philosophy in the first half of hte 19th Century, that is, before CSP began his work. In many places in his writings, CSP is a very harsh critic of German philosophy, logic and even language. I have never grasp the reasoning behind CSP's negativism. Anybody have any clues on why CSP disrespected the Germans? Was this a consequence of CSP's Unitarianism? Cheers Jerry
