Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Filmer Stuart Cuckow Northrop (1893–1992) was an American legal philosopher and influential comparative philosopher. After receiving a B.A. from Beloit College in 1915, then a M.A. from Yale in 1919, he went to Harvard University where he earned a second M.A., then a Ph.D. in 1924. At Harvard, Northrop studied under Alfred North Whitehead, who is remembered as the defining figure of process philosophy and a mathematician. He was appointed to the Yale faculty in 1923 as an instructor in Philosophy, named Professor in 1932. In 1947 he was appointed Sterling Professor of Philosophy and Law. His jurisprudential work primarily concerned sociological jurisprudence. He chaired the Philosophy department from 1938 to 1940, then was the 1st Master of Silliman College from 1940 to 1947. This is his most influential work, The Meeting of East and West, originally published in 1946 during the aftermath of World War II. Its central thesis is that East and West both must learn something from each other to avoid future conflict and to flourish together. How that could happen requires understanding ideological assumptions of all sides which leads to new philosophies of culture, art, science and politics in order to manifest a more ideal culture. A significant attempt to develop global unified philosophies. xxiv + 531pp +8pp of illustration plates.
