| Abstract | The Centennial anniversary of Humboldt's birth was widely celebrated in the U.S. in 1869, and his contributions in the natural sciences were given widespread praise. The problem speakers faced concerned the philosophical basis and impact of his work and his personal religious persuasion. Critics accused him of atheism and materialism, while supporters defended him against these charges. |
