Book Overview

The New Word: An Open Letter Addressed To The Swedish Academy In Stockholm On The Meaning Of The Word Idealist (1910) is a book written by Allen Upward. The book is an open letter addressed to the Swedish Academy in Stockholm and explores the meaning of the word ""idealist."" Upward argues that the word has been misused and misunderstood, and that it should be redefined to reflect its true meaning. He suggests that an idealist is someone who strives for a better world, and who is willing to work towards that goal, even if it means sacrificing personal gain. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning of a word that is often used but rarely understood, and is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy or language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
