Book Overview
At a time when German philosophy was dominated by idealism, German philosopher and physician Ludwig B chner (1824-99) wrote Kraft und Stoff, an influential work advocating materialism, in 1855. It went through many editions and was widely read across the world. The controversy surrounding the book led to B chner leaving his post at the University of T bingen, but he went on to establish the German Freethinkers' League, the first German organisation for atheists. This book, first published in 1864, is a translation of the eighth edition, and is edited by J. Frederick Collingwood, who wanted to bring B chner's work to an English audience. It contains translations of the prefaces from the first, third and fourth editions of Kraft und Stoff, and an introductory letter from B chner which expresses his belief that Darwin's theory of evolution has given support to his materialist theory.
