William Torrey Harris Presents Hegel to AmericaWilliam Tory Harris was a prominent American educator, philosopher, and lexicographer who played a significant role in shaping public education in the United States during the late 19th century.He was a devotee of Hegel and known as the leader of the "St. Louis Hegelians" who were responsible for raising American awareness of Hegel and the importance of this thought. The group had a significant impact on American philosophy and education mainly via Harris who became a leading figure in American education and helped to introduce Hegelian ideas into the educational system. The St. Lois Hegelians - founded by William Torrey Harris with Henry Conrad Brokmeyer with other notable members including Denton Snider and Josiah Royce - were devoted to spreading Hegel's ideas of dialectical materialism, the Absolute Spirit, and the historical progression of ideas. Perhaps most important and influential, they published the Journal of Speculative Philosophy from 1867 to 1893, a journal which became a prominent platform for philosophical discussion in the United States.
