About the author
Born on January 3, 1864, Alfred Henry Lloyd was an American philosopher best known for his long association with the University of Michigan. He studied at Harvard, continued his philosophical training in Germany, and returned to Harvard to complete his Ph.D. in 1893.
Lloyd joined the University of Michigan faculty in the 1890s and later became a professor of philosophy there. Alongside his teaching, he wrote books and essays on philosophy, education, and social questions, building a reputation as a thoughtful interpreter of idealism with a practical, public-minded streak.
He died on May 11, 1927. Though not a widely known popular author today, Lloyd remains an interesting figure for readers curious about American philosophy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
