Summary

Herbert Ernest Cushman's "A Beginner's History of Philosophy (Vol. 1&2)" offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of philosophical thought from antiquity to modern times. Cushman's pedagogical style is characterized by clarity and conciseness, making complex ideas digestible for novices. The work is organized chronologically, allowing readers to engage with the evolution of philosophical concepts whilst situating them within their historical contexts. This dual volume serves not only as a primer for those new to philosophy but also as a reference for seasoned scholars seeking to revisit foundational ideas presented in a straightforward manner. Cushman, an esteemed educator and philosopher, dedicated much of his career to the dissemination of philosophical knowledge. His teaching experience and passion for philosophy informed his approach in writing these volumes, aiming to inspire a love for philosophical inquiry among students and lay readers alike.

    The striking saga of the Glorious Revolution is one that continues to fascinate historians around the world today. Some chroniclers have referred to these events as the “Bloodless Revolution,” but other historians say otherwise. The ruthless game of politics that William of Orange and England’s King James II played may have been somewhat bloodless in comparison to history's greatest rebellions, but the rebels, soldiers, and other pawns who lost their lives along the way must not be forgotten. The revolution would also pave the path for a series of bloody wars between England and Scotland, the result of which has left quite a legacy of its own.  
Furthermore, it’s important to remember that James did try to return to England, and there would be two more years of war before James II gave up the quest to regain the throne. On July 1, 1690, the famous Battle of the Boyne was fought near the town of Drogheda, about five miles west of Baltray. The combatants were the supporters of King James II and King William III, both claiming to be the lawful sovereigns of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The conflict was part of a broader struggle for the destiny of the British Isles, and though it was not the decisive battle of the war, it is the most famous, the commemoration of which still fans tensions between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In its aftermath, James II would again leave the British Isles, this time for good.
