184355252Providence: B. Cranston and Company 1843. First edition 8vo pp. 52; removed from binding wrappers wanting; very good. Durfee here propounds the theory that "the recent revolutionary development of steam power was not merely an instance of man making progress it was a revelation of the divine 'law of progress' and of a 'higher destiny' planned by God himself for the new age" Schneider History of American Philosophy. These ideas were adumbrated by Durfee in The Panidea; Or An Omnipresent Reason Considered as the Creative and Sustaining Logos 1846 "a pretentious work that nobody read" DAB. More charitable comments are made by Joseph Blau in his collection of American Philosophic Addresses 1700 to 1900 page 381 ff where the Oration is reprinted in full. An important aspect of Durfee's deterministic theory of history is that "there is no absolute undefinable popular sovereignty which can in a manner its own and at any moment carry a certain supposed natural equality into social and political life and thereby elevate poor human nature however rude and degraded in condition at once as by a sort of magic into a state of supreme and absolute perfection" quoted by Blau. This is because the advances of science and technology impose conditions upon society which democracy cannot control and to which it must adapt. Blau notes that Durfee's views were influenced by German transcendentalism as mediated by Coleridge and Cousin. Not surprisingly given his skepticism on the efficacy of popular sovereignty Durfee as Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court played a prominent role in opposition to the Dorr forces.
