I created a new page for the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, and moved there a paragraph from the biography of Felix Adler. Feel free to look there for the missing paragraph.

The New Student's Reference Work

[edit]

This enccylopedia lists Adler as being a Ph.D. from Berlin University, not Heidelberg. Can anyone check to see which might be accurate? Badbilltucker 16:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I checked a few places. NNDB says he recieved his PhD from Heidelberg in 1873. The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture has a biography that says studied at Heidelberg after he graduated from Columbia. Encyclopedia Britanica says he studied at Berlin and Heidelberg. I don't know of any easy easy way to verify a degree which was presumably granted 133 years ago. One problem is that some accessable on-line sources may have used this wikipedia article as their source, so aren't really independent. Morris 04:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Question: why does this article list Felix Adler as a transcendentalist? I think his teachings emphasize the importance of ethics grounded in personal relationships, that is, an emphasis on the real world and not some kind of higher, transcendental reality. I think it would be more appropriate to classify him as an ethical realist. However, I am no expert on these distinctions. Perhaps let me say that the assertion that Adler is a transcendalist should be sourced, because it is not obvious to me that his beliefs fit the Wikipedia definition of transcendentalism.
