Thaddeus Burr Wakeman

From Philosopedia

Wakeman, Thaddeus Burr (1834–1913)

Wakeman was an American lawyer and positivist. In New York, he was one of the editors of Man (1878–1884) and was president of the New York Liberal Club.

Wakeman was an editor of Torch of Reason (1896–1903, a newspaper of Liberal University) and Liberal Review (1904–1906).

Joseph McCabe wrote of Wakeman, “He called himself a Positivist, but broadly, he was an agnostic, a great admirer of Haeckel (who loathed Positivism), and an aggressive freethinker.”
