Evidence (2021-05-25): Margaret Fuller (1810–1850), one of the most important American feminists of her day, was a philosopher, journalist, and literary critic. She belonged to the New England intellectual community called the transcendentalists, who also included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Her most important written work is Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845), an expansion of her article entitled "The Great Lawsuit: Man versus Men, Woman versus Women" (1843). Fuller is remembered not only for her writings, but also for her life: a series of undertakings to live up to her own ideal of transcending the then customary gender differentiations. This article will present a summary of her philosophy and also take note of the various ways in which she sought (or did not seek) to implement her philosophical ideals.

Evidence (2021-03-01): Introduction: Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) Sarah Margaret Fuller was born at Cambridgeport, now part of Cambridge. She was educated by her father, a lawyer and congressman, in the classics. Although she later described her childhood as stressful, she nevertheless appreciated her father’s interest in developing her mind for its own sake rather than as an ornament to an "inevitable" future husband and married household. Her mind developed rapidly, as she achieved a thorough reading in such classic authors Virgil, Ovid, Horace, and Shakespeare by the time she was ten years old. [...] Once freed from her familial responsibilities, Fuller returned to Cambridge where she supported herself and promoted other Boston and Cambridge women’s intellectual growth holding "Conversations" on such rigorous subjects as Greek mythology, ethics, philosophical idealism, and women’s rights. She became interested in the utopian community of Brook Farm and joined a circle of social reformers, including Lydia Maria Child, and of Transcendentalists, including Emerson and Thoreau. With Emerson, she founded the Transcendentalist journal The Dial and served as its editor from 1840 to 1842. The next year, The Dial published Fuller’s groundbreaking essay "The Great Lawsuit. Man versus Men. Woman versus Women" (1843). Drawing upon Transcendentalist ideas on nature, the spirit, self-perfection, and true creation, as well as displaying her wideranging scholarship in European literature and culture, this essay prophesied true independence for women, once freed from limiting patriarchal systems and institutions with their false and hierarchical gender divisions.

Evidence (2017-06-23): If the ante-bellum nineteenth century journalist, Transcendentalist, and feminist Margaret Fuller were alive today, she would have a podcast. Before Fuller’s premature death in 1850, female intellectuals had few outlets for expressing their ideas. Hers was conversation, written and spoken. In conversation with others — Horace Greeley, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the Transcendentalist colony at Brook Farm — she reached for the intellectual life she would never quite be permitted to have as a woman. Fuller grappled all her life with the relationship between mind and body, intellect and gender, thought and love, carving out a space for women’s ideas in an American culture that by and large did not see the need for such spaces. She had to make them for herself, eventually becoming an expatriate to participate in the intellectual ferment of a Europe in political transformation. Returning to the United States as a mature author with her lover-husband, her child, and her book manuscript, she hoped to find room in her life for all three.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) was an important and influential nineteenth-century American writer, educator, and activist and is considered a pioneering feminist. Fuller was well connected in Boston literary circles and was a close associate of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Peabody, and other leading Transcendentalist writers and thinkers. In the early 1840s she co-edited The Dial, a literary journal that published Transcendentalist writing, including many of her own essays and reviews. She later wrote for the New York Tribune as a literary and cultural critic. In 1845 she expanded an essay she had written two years earlier for The Dial into Woman in the Nineteenth Century, long considered to be a classic of early feminist thought. She became a foreign correspondent for the Tribune and while covering the uprisings across Europe in 1848 married Giovanni Angelo d’Ossoli, a young revolutionary. She died tragically in 1850 in a shipwreck. She was just forty years old. Source: S. Margaret Fuller, Woman in the Nineteenth Century (New York: Greeley and McElrath, 1845), pp. 20–27.

Evidence (2023-09-11): Margaret Fuller, born on May 23, 1810, in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, was an American writer, journalist, critic, and women's rights advocate. She is well-known for her influential contributions to the feminist movement and her significant role in shaping American literature and intellectual thought in the 19th century. [...] Margaret Fuller's quote, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader," encapsulates the profound potential that lies within the act of reading. By asserting that reading today can lead to leadership tomorrow, Fuller highlights the transformative power of knowledge and literature. She suggests that being an avid reader primes individuals to become informed and intelligent, fostering critical thinking and broadening their perspectives. Reading equips individuals with an array of ideas, insights, and historical knowledge that contribute to their personal growth and development. As a result, those who invest in reading become well-equipped to tackle complex challenges, make informed decisions, and influence others positively. Ultimately, Fuller's poignant quote serves as a reminder that reading isn't simply a leisure activity but a dynamic process that can shape individuals into the leaders of tomorrow.

But Margaret craves more than poetry and interpersonal drama, and her restless soul needs new challenges and adventures.

Evidence (2024-01-01): The curricular standards emphasize the importance of attending to writing across genres and especially to nonfictional prose, and thus it's worth noting that over the past few decades the canon has expanded to include a lot of such writing. To focus on just the 1820–1865 selections in the Norton [Anthology of American Literature]: we have Emerson, Thoreau, Douglass, Lincoln, Lydia Maria Child, Harriet Jacobs, William Wells Brown, Margaret Fuller, Caroline Kirkland, and others, and these authors are addressing such issues as slavery, race, nationhood, the frontier, social reform, democracy, nonconformity, and women's rights. I can assure you that they were thinking rhetorically about how to make an impact on readers, and the way that they try to do that is very much worth studying and talking about. In my presentation tomorrow, I'm going to focus on Douglass and Emerson as figures who influence writers of their own time and beyond. But they were also writers who shared in a vision of the importance of democracy to American life and letters and sought to convey their thoughts to ordinary readers.

Evidence (2022-10-15): I threw my bags in my tiny room at the Gifford House and trudged out to visit my friend Larry Collins, a photographer and painter and a Vietnam vet who had recently moved into senior housing right across from the cemetery (where I have located Rosilla’s grave) so the only thing to talk about was the future, which is death. After Thoreau witnessed the wreck of the St. John (but before he wrote Cape Cod) he travelled to Fire Island to gather the remains of Margaret Fuller. She was the only female member of the transcendentalists and an early war correspondent whose own writings had inspired Thoreau to write Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. She had gone to Europe to cover the Italian revolution and fell in love with a count and got pregnant by him and, broke, they decided to come here. The boat was weighed down by a lot of Carrera marble and a friend told Fuller I wouldn’t get on that boat.

Evidence (2012-01-23): Sarah Margaret Fuller was the first-born child to Timothy and Margarett Crane Fuller. Hers was a unique childhood, with a father who made special demands when it came to his daughter's rigorous education. Margaret met the challenge; a century and a half later, she might have been classified as a prodigy, or as "gifted." We follow her family through moves in Cambridge and throughout eastern Massachusetts, and through times of having money and then of having little. As she grew older, Margaret became a teacher, a writer, a Goethe researcher, a translator, a leader of formal conversations, and a caretaker to her siblings. She found creative outlets as the premier editor of The Dial (a task akin to herding cats), as the author of Summer on the Lakes, in 1843 and Woman in the Nineteenth Century, and then as a columnist for the New-York Tribune. Naturally, we peek into her relationships with some of her friends and colleagues: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Sarah and James Freeman Clarke, William Henry Channing, Horace Greeley, Frederic Henry Hedge, Sam and Anna Ward, Caroline Sturgis Tappan, and Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Evidence (2002-08-31): And I'm not the only one in that case ! One person who asked was Mr Michael Takiff, who had come up with the quote, attributed to Plato, in a letter from a soldier in Vietnam to his father while preparing a book called "Brave Men, Gentle Heroes: American Fathers and Sons in World War II and Vietnam", to be published by HarperCollins in 2003. I was unable to help him, but I later learned, in further exchanges I had with him by mail, that, with the help of friends and colleagues, he had come up with the following about the quote: [...] Back to index of frequently asked questions about Plato (1) In a text called "A guide to studying history at Fort Huachuca, Only the dead are safe: war and history", available in PDF format on the site of the US Army Intelligence [...] Thayer, adds the following note with regard to the supposed Plato quotation: "I have been unable to find this in Plato; and apparently I'm not the only one. They are undoubtedly to be found in the 20c philosopher George Santayana's Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies (1922), and reappeared in The Life of Reason, a book published in 1953 shortly after the author's death during the Korean War at a time when they would have been very likely to catch Gen. MacArthur's eye. A brief thread on the Classics-L includes the opinion that these words are now widely seen as Plato's precisely because of Gen. MacArthur's misattribution in this speech." (<==)
Claim: alleges that ancient Greek philosopher Plato once stated, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." (Viral quote, 2019-08-23)
Evidence (2024-09-23): Plato (born 428/427 bce, Athens, Greece—died 348/347, Athens) was an ancient Greek philosopher, student of Socrates (c. 470–399 bce), teacher of Aristotle (384–322 bce), and founder of the Academy. He is best known as the author of philosophical works of unparalleled influence and is one of the major figures of Classical antiquity. [...] Plato once delivered a public lecture, "On the Good," in which he mystified his audience by announcing, "the Good is one." He better gauged his readers in his dialogues, many of which are accessible, entertaining, and inviting. Although Plato is well known for his negative remarks about much great literature, in the Symposium he depicts literature and philosophy as the offspring of lovers, who gain a more lasting posterity than do parents of mortal children. His own literary and philosophical gifts ensure that something of Plato will live on for as long as readers engage with his works.

Evidence (2010-01-01): There is another feature of Plato's writings that makes him distinctive among the great philosophers and colors our experience of him as an author. Nearly everything he wrote takes the form of a dialogue. (There is one striking exception: his Apology, which purports to be the speech that Socrates gave in his defense — the Greek word apologia means "defense" — when, in 399, he was legally charged and convicted of the crime of impiety. However, even there, Socrates is presented at one point addressing questions of a philosophical character to his accuser, Meletus, and responding to them. In addition, since antiquity, a collection of 13 letters has been included among his collected works, but their authenticity as compositions of Plato is not universally accepted among scholars, and many or most of them are almost certainly not his. Most of them purport to be the outcome of his involvement in the politics of Syracuse, a heavily populated Greek city located in Sicily and ruled by tyrants.)

Evidence (2024-10-04): - ^ Popper accuses Plato of betraying Socrates. He was not the first to do so. Thomas Jefferson made the same statement in a letter to his friend John Adams in 1814, "Socrates had reason indeed to complain of the misrepresentations of Plato; for in truth his dialogues are libels on Socrates." (Jefferson, Thomas. "To John Adams Monticello, July 5, 1814". University of Groningen.)

Evidence (2024-10-09): Plato (/ˈpleɪtoʊ/ PLAY-toe;[1] Greek: Πλάτων, Plátōn), born Aristocles (Ἀριστοκλῆς; c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism. [...] Plato (Greek: Πλάτων, Plátōn, from Ancient Greek: πλατύς, romanized: platys, lit. 'broad') is actually a nickname. Although it is a fact that the philosopher called himself Platon in his maturity, the origin of this name remains mysterious. Platon was a fairly common name (31 instances are known from Athens alone),[8] but the name does not occur in Plato's known family line.[9] [...] - Tarán, Leonardo (2001). "Plato's Alleged Epitaph".

Claim: alleges that ancient Greek philosopher Plato once stated, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." (Viral quote, 2019-08-23)
Evidence (2023-04-11): Plato (l. c. 424/423 to 348/347 BCE), the Greek philosopher whose works have significantly shaped Western thought and religion, is said to have initially been a poet and playwright and, even if the primary source of this claim (the often unreliable Diogenes Laertius, l. 3rd century) is challenged, Plato's works themselves argue in favor of it. [...] The child who would grow up to be known as Plato was born either in Athens or on the nearby island of Aegina. His parents are said to have been among the early Athenian colonists of Aegina and allegedly lived in the house of Phidiades, son of the philosopher Thales of Miletus, before moving back to Athens to the deme (borough) of Colytus. It is possible, therefore, that Plato was born in a house associated with the first known philosopher of ancient Greece, though it is likely this is a later invention. Wherever he was born, according to Laertius, he was named Aristocles, son of Ariston, of Colytus. [...] If Laertius had thought to clearly cite his sources, passages like this would carry more weight with modern-day scholars but, as it is, his work continues to be cited in the absence of other biographical information on Plato and other philosophers of ancient Greece. Waterfield dismisses this passage as "irrelevant" in that it cannot be corroborated and there is no need to question whether "Plato" was Plato's birth name.
