The right kind of nonsense – a study of McTaggart’s C and D series
Leaving to one side McTaggart’s notorious proof of the unreality of time, this paper examines his positive account of the way in which reality, thus judged to be timeless, misleadingly appears to us as temporal, something which has been almost entirely ignored in the literature. The paper first examines his complex motivations in taking up the issue. It next considers an early unsuccessful approach, before expounding the details of its complex re…
J.S. Mill’s ‘psychological theory’ of the mind
This paper examines John Stuart Mill’s ‘psychological theory’ of the mind, as he set it out in his Examination of Sir William Hamilton’s Philosophy. After outlining Mill’s theory and the problem he finds with it, the paper discusses four different interpretations that have been suggested, before proposing a new alternative reading. The matter is of intrinsic interest to anyone who sees value in trying to get to the bottom of tricky texts about pu…
Providence and Pantheism
New conceptions of transcendence in the thought of the British idealists
British Idealism was the philosophical school which dominated during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Using the ideas of Bernard Bosanquet, John Caird and Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison as an illustration, this paper looks at some of the ways in which the British Idealists sought to develop new and more subtle conceptions of the transcendent, able to resist the corrosive effects of late nineteenth-century critical and naturalistic thinki…
The Philosophy of Shadworth Hodgson
The Oxford Handbook of British Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century
This volume contains thirty new essays by leading experts on British philosophy in the nineteenth century, and provides a comprehensive and unrivalled resource for advanced students and scholars. As well as the most celebrated figures, such as Mill, Spencer, Sidgwick, and Bradley, the Handbook discusses many other less well-known names and debates from the period, such as Whewell, Shadworth Hodgson, and Martineau. The Handbook contains six parts:…
Karl Marx and British Socialism
This chapter traces some connections between Karl Marx and British politics and culture in the nineteenth century. It outlines Marx’s engagement with Chartism, contemporary politics (including his anti-Palmerston campaign), and the International Association. It explores Marx’s attitude towards socialism in Britain, using Robert Owen as a case study. Marx’s balanced view of ‘utopian socialism’ includes a positive assessment of Owen’s critique of c…
The History of Philosophy
One very notable feature of the British Idealist movement, especially of its beginning period, absent before that time and largely absent since, was its emphasis on the history of philosophy. The Idealists defined themselves through their understanding of the history of their own discipline, of which they took a view much influenced by Hegel. This important aspect of their philosophical worldview is considered in this chapter through close attent…
British Idealism
W.J. Mander presents the first ever synoptic history of British idealism, the school of thought which dominated English-language philosophy from the 1860s to the early 20th century. He restores to its proper place this period of philosophy, introduces the exponents of idealism and explains its concepts and doctrines
The philosophy of John Norris
Best known today as one of the earliest critics of John Locke, John Norris (1657-1711) incorporated ideas of Augustine, Malebranche, Plato, the Cambridge Platonists, and the scholastics into an original synthesis that was highly influential on the philosophy and theology of his day. Offering detailed considerations of his writings on metaphysics, knowledge, faith, moral philosophy, as well as his controversy with Locke, W. J. Mander presents a mu…
Theism, pantheism, and petitionary prayer
Theists typically think it appropriate to pray to God in the hope that He will thereby intervene in affairs. On the other hand, such prayer is often held to be quite inappropriate for pantheists; a view endorsed by many pantheists themselves. This paper argues for the exact opposite of these positions. It is maintained not only that pantheism can make sense of petitionary prayer but that, despite initial appearances to the contrary, classical the…
T. H. Green
Recent years have seen a growth of interest in T. H. Green as philosophers have begun to overturn received opinions of his philosophy and discover again for themselves his original and important contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and political philosophy. This collection of essays on these key areas of his thought by leading experts in the field introduces and critically examines his ideas both in their context and in their relevance to contem…
Bradley's Philosophy of Religion
F. H. Bradley (1846–1924) did not write extensively or systematically on the philosophy of religion, and much of what he did write has the character of either tentative speculation or the pre-emptive rebuttal of potential misinterpretations that might threaten his general philosophical position. ‘I admit that on this subject I never had much to say’ (ETR 428) he warns. But such a remark should not discourage us from considering his views on this …
