Does Dabney interact with Shedd in Practical Philosophy?

[RamistThomist]

I don't have Dabney's Practical Philosophy. I hope to get it one day. I noticed in the Table of Contents he talks about the human will, something WGT Shedd has written a lot on. I know he is familiar with Shedd in his book Sacred Rhetoric. Does he deal with him here?

I did a word search for Shedd in the volume of The Practical Philosophy on Hathi, but nothing came up in the results.

That is because most philosophers prefer their creature comforts so would prefer to live in a house than a shedd

I can’t find anything on Shedd in RLD’s ST, nor in his philosophical and his secular discussions. I also checked two volumes of Evangelical and Theological discussions. Not even a whisper.

I think Shedd was a later writer, at least his dogmatics. That might explain it.

Maybe you have that backwards? On the whole, the Dabney’s writings I noted were considerably later than Shedd’s most notable essays and theological writings. With respect to the OP, Practical Philosophy was I think Dabney’s last work, 1897. Whereas Shedd’s Dogmatics, which was a much later publication for Shedd relative to his other works, was 1888-1894; yet still a bit after Practical Philosophy. Primary point being, Dabney was spilling ink after Shedd’s Dogmatics.

I guess I am thinking of Dabney's ST, which was in 1871, but you are right on Practical Philosophy.

Yes, that’s what I figured.
