THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY OF THE “GREAT AWAKENING”: THE IDEALISM OF SAMUEL JOHNSON
Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
The basic philosophical views of the American teacher and social and religious figure of the “Great Revival” era of Samuel Johnson are revealed. In addition to the biographical information that influenced the formation of philosophical views, the intellectual meetings of the thinker with European philosophers were analyzed. The philosopher Samuel Johnson created a unique system of philosophical knowledge, which in many ways outstripped his time. He divided the philosophical sciences into rational, natural and moral, which is similar to the classification of Bonaventure, and many other philosophers. From the solid amount of literature in his treatises, we can conclude about the breadth of views and high education of the philosopher. Many revolutionary ideas in the sphere of education were realized in practice in American higher education- al institutions. The main works of the philosopher, his philosophical system and philosophical innovations are studied in this article. Undoubtedly, Samuel Johnson had a great influence on the history of the American philosophical tradition.
