Herbert Ernest Cushman (1865-1944) was an esteemed American philosopher and educator, most notably associated with Tufts College where he served as a professor of philosophy. Steeped in the tradition of idealistic thought, Cushman carved a niche in the historical interpretation of philosophical ideas. His seminal work 'A Beginner's History of Philosophy' (Vol. 1 & 2) remains a crucial resource for introductory philosophical education and continues to influence teaching methodologies within the discipline. This comprehensive survey, first published in 1910, is designed to trace the evolution of philosophical thought through its most significant periods, figures, and schools. It has been lauded for its clarity, coherence, and accessibility, making complex philosophical ideas approachable for novices without sacrificing depth. Cushman's literary style is often noted for its systematic and lucid exposition, characteristics that have helped his work endure as a foundational text in philosophical studies. His work is also reflective of the intellectual milieu of his times, encapsulating the transition from 19th-century idealism to the more pragmatic and analytic concerns that would dominate the 20th century. Cushman's legacy lies not only in his scholastic contributions but also in his devotion to the propagation of philosophy as a discipline integral to the broader scope of humanistic education.
