(1866-80) and the Concord School of Philosophy The Concord School of Philosophy was a lyceum-like series of summer lectures and discussions of philosophy in Concord, Massachusetts from 1879 to 1888. It was founded by Amos Bronson Alcott with the financial support of William Torrey Harris and of his daughter Louisa May Alcott; (1879-88), two branches of an idealist i·de·al·ist n. 1. One whose conduct is influenced by ideals that often conflict with practical considerations. 2. One who is unrealistic and impractical; a visionary. 3. movement that tried to adapt German thought, primarily that of Hegel, to the American context. A particular concern of the movement was to apply philosophical ideas to practical social and political matters, particularly education, she explains, and so many members of the movement during its early years in St. Louis were educators in the public school system, and the majority of them were women. Indeed she suggests that their almost sole focus on education may be one reason the women have been excluded from the history of the American idealist movement.
