Autorenporträt

William De Witt Hyde (1858 - 1917) was an esteemed American philosopher and educator, remembered for his considerable contributions to ethical philosophy and liberal religious thought. Serving as the president of Bowdoin College from 1885 until his death in 1917, Hyde's intellectual legacy is captured through his written works that articulate a vision of personal and social morality. Among his most notable books is 'The Five Great Philosophies of Life' (1911), wherein Hyde elucidates on the quintessential philosophical frameworks that have shaped human understanding of ethics: the Epicurean, the Stoic, the Platonic, the Aristotelian, and the Christian. Emphasizing pragmatic relevance, Hyde's articulation of these philosophies reflects his dedication to the practical application of ethical principles in daily life. Known for his clear, cogent prose and insightful analysis, Hyde was a prominent figure within the late 19th and early 20th-century philosophical circles. His contributions extended beyond the academic realm as he sought to engage with contemporary social issues through a moral lens, thereby leaving a lasting imprint on American liberal thought and educational philosophy.
