p h i c a l m o v e m e n t William Torrey Harris and Henry Brokmeyer met at the St. Louis Mercantile Library in 1858. Together, they set in motion the St. Louis Philosophical Movement, which gave rise to the St. Louis Philosophical Society and its Journal of Speculative Philosophy, the first English-language philosophical journal in the world. The movement especially focused on German idealism and New England transcendentalism, with an emphasis on converting thought into action. In April 2008, the Philosophy Department at Webster University celebrated the sesquicentennial of the birth of this movement with a conference. The Saint Louis Philosophical Movement grew out of this conference. Edited by Webster University's Britt-Marie Schiller, this volume brings together five essays that explore the movement, its members, and its legacy.
