Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great Philosophers, Volume 8
Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great Philosophers is the eighth volume of the series of short biographical essays Elbert Hubbard issued from his Roycroft press in East Aurora, New York. In this volume, originally published in 1904, he visits twelve thinkers: Socrates, Seneca, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Immanuel Kant, Swedenborg, Spinoza, Auguste Comte, Voltaire, Herbert Spencer, Schopenhauer and Henry David Thoreau. Hubbard is less interested in systems than in characters and anecdotes, and he writes in a breezy, opinionated style, mixing admiration with digressions on American life and his own convictions. The essays are introductions for the general reader rather than studies for the scholar. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
