Had not the tide of rationalist and sceptical thinking run so strongly in the last one hundred years, Johnson – along with his fellow philosophers such as Hiram K. Jones, William Torrey Harris, and Bronson Alcott – would today be recognised as a great contributor to the cause of true philosophy in the modern west.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnson edited two journals, \u003cem\u003eThe Platonist\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBibliotheca Platonica\u003c\/em\u003e, between 1880 and 1890, as well as publishing three books in the following years.
