About the Book
Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

A step from the New world to the Old, and back again: with thoughts on the good and evil in both

This book, "A step from the New World to the Old, and back again with thoughts on the good and evil in both. 2", by Henry Philip Tappan, is a replication of a book originally published before 1852. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology. Thank you for supporting classic literature.
Henry Philip Tappan was an American philosopher, educator and academic administrator.
Background
Henry Philip Tappan was born on April 18, 1805 in the village of Rhinebeck (village), New York. His father, Peter Tappan, an officer in the Revolutionary army, was a descendant of Jurian Teunnisse Tappan, who emigrated from Holland to Manhattan in 1625. The Tappan family had intermarried with the Clintons, and Tappan's mother, Ann DeWitt, could trace her family back to a connection with the famous DeWitts, the rivals of the House of Orange. Henry Philip was the youngest of seven children.
Education
From the district school he was sent to Greenville Academy, but in 1819 he was forced to leave because of family financial troubles. He resorted to teaching to earn money and two years afterward entered Union College, Schenectady, whence he graduated in 1825 with the degree of B. A. Deciding for the ministry, he next entered Auburn Theological Seminary and was graduated in 1827.
Career
He was ordained at Pittsfield, Massachussets, in September 1828 as minister of the Congregational Church. His ministerial career was cut short, however, by an infection of the throat which forced him to travel to the West Indies for his health.
In 1832 he became professor of moral and intellectual philosophy in the newly established University of the City of New York (later New York University), and from that time devoted his energies to philosophy and the theory of education. Unfortunately, the new university was not well managed, financially or otherwise, and in 1837 Tappan was dismissed along with seven others who had signed a statement expressing lack of confidence in the administration. For a brief interval thereafter he was the head of a private seminary, a young ladies' school in Leroy Place, Bleecker Street, N. Y.
Meanwhile he had written and published several books on philosophy, which in those days was scarcely separable from theology. Jonathan Edwards, 1703-1758, had set the stage by his famous treatise on the freedom of the will, and it was this problem which Tappan essayed to reanalyze. He began his publications in 1839 with his Review of Edwards's "Inquiry into the Freedom of the Will. " This was followed in 1840 by his Doctrine of the Will Determined by an Appeal to Consciousness and in 1841 by his Doctrine of the Will Applied to Moral Agency and Responsibility. Though he shows the influence of Victor Cousin, the famous eclectic French philosopher of the time, yet there are touches of genuine originality in his handling of the problems. Tappan argued for a generic principle of contingency of which the free will is an expression. This thesis was supported by an appeal to consciousness, because "the causes first and best known to us are ourselves. " He also published Elements of Logic (1844).
In 1852, when he had received recognition both at home and abroad, he was offered his former chair, but declined it for the presidency of the University of Michigan. Although Michigan was still a pioneer state, he saw there an opportunity to integrate the university with the whole educational system and to make of it something more than the college which had served up to this time to complete American education. In his views on education--expressed in University Education (1851)--he was influenced by the Prussian system, which he had been able to examine during a visit abroad. Being convinced that much more than the college was needed to lift American thought to a creative level, he was careful in his selection of professors and gathered around him several brilliant men.
To his credit, also, goes the founding of the Detroit astronomical observatory. Unfortunately, minor conflicts arose over such a matter as the serving of wine in his home, for the temperance movement was strong and already fanatical. But the university continued to grow and to make innovations under his leadership. A new board of regents which came into office in 1858 was unsympathetic, and in June 1863, after about five years of increasing friction, Tappan was suddenly asked to resign. There were protests throughout the state, but the action was not reconsidered. It remains to be noted that within a few years the regents expressed regret, and that in June 1875 they passed resolutions recognizing Tappan's distinguished ability and services. Tappan spent the remaining years of his life in Europe. He died abroad.
