Frederick Augustus Rauch: American Hegelian (Franklin and Marshall College Studies, No. 8)

xvii, 103 pp. "Frederick Augustus Rauch [in Germany, Friedrich August Rauch] (27 July 1806, Hesse-Darmstadt - 2 March 1841, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania) was an educator and the founding president of Marshall College. He was a professor of systematic theology and is often credited as the originator of Mercersburg Theology, although Philip Schaff and John Williamson Nevin were more integral in the development of its views. Learned in German philosophy and theology, especially Hegelian thought, Rauch's particular contribution was the writing of his book Psychology: Or, A View of the Human Soul; Including Anthropology.[5][6] This was the first English exposition of Hegelian philosophy for an American audience.[7]"--Wikipedia
