299 iv v Acknowledgements I am indebted to the two ministers to whom this thesis in dedicated, Walter Entrican and David Milligan, for introducing me to the work of John Oman. In 1976, on becoming a student for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, both ministers encouraged me to read Oman’s books. Though my reading in theology has been varied over the years many times I have returned to Oman on the subject of religion and theology. I have, however, never quite understood his place in theological tradition. I am grateful, therefore, to Rev’d Dr. Ruth Page for encouraging me to undertake this belated study. Dr. Page supervised my B.D. Dissertation in 1981 on Oman’s understanding of doctrine and its relation to religious experience. Rev’d Professor David Fergusson must be thanked for accepting me as a post-graduate student and encouraging me over the past three years. Dr Fergusson’s suggestion of a contextual approach has proved most helpful in bringing Oman’s thinking into clearer relief. Further, as my advisor of studies his steadying hand, critical mind and ready availability has been vital to the enterprise. I would add that the limitations of the work are entirely my own. I am grateful to the staff at New College library, Edinburgh, Kirkwall library in Orkney and Westminster College library, Cambridge, for their helpfulness with source material and books. The sources of financial support have been greatly appreciated in these straightened economic times. In particular, The Hope Trust has been generous towards the cost of my student fees, the University of Edinburgh has awarded a scholarship available to ministers of the Church of Scotland and my wife has enabled me to reside in Edinburgh through her love and maintenance. The preparation of the text of the thesis has been made much easier by my wife Kathleen’s proof reading and my son Angus’ help with computer technicalities. My son Calum and daughter Morag must be thanked for their indulgence over three Christmases when father was not entirely focused on family celebrations. vi vii I composed this thesis, the work is my own. No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or qualification. Name……………………………………….. Date……………………… viii ix Abstract This thesis is a contextual study of the work of Orkney theologian John Oman (1860- 1939), with reference to personal freedom as the unifying principle. Oman’s early life in Orkney, his philosophical awakening in Edinburgh and his wide reading of European thought are the contexts explored. From these contexts emerges a theology that is eclectic in nature and which finds coherence in the principle of personal freedom. Oman’s concept of freedom is defined theologically, metaphysically and personally; this is followed by discussion of its application to the specific subject areas of Christology and Ecclesiology. The priority that Oman gives to personal freedom results in a distinctive theology of Christ and the Church. Thus, the uniqueness of Christ lies in the freedom which he exemplifies in humanity; and the Church is a community of freedom

  • Sidgwick's Philosophical Intuitions
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, X, 2008, 2, pp. 185-209 Sidgwick’s Philosophical Intuitions Anthony Skelton Department of Philosophy University of Western Ontario [email protected] ABSTRACT Sidgwick famously claimed that an argument in favour of utilitarianism might be provided by demonstrating that a set of defensible philosophical intuitions undergird it. This paper focuses on those philosophical intuitions. It aims to show which specific intuitions Sidgwick endorsed, and to shed light on their mutual connections. It argues against many rival interpretations that Sidgwick maintained that six philosophical intuitions constitute the self- evident grounds for utilitarianism, and that those intuitions appear to be specifications of a negative principle of universalization (according to which differential treatments must be based on reasonable grounds alone). In addition, this paper attempts to show how the intuitions function in the overall argument for utilitarianism. The suggestion is that the intuitions are the main positive part of the argument for the view, which includes Sidgwick's rejection of common-sense morality and its philosophical counterpart, dogmatic intuitionism. The paper concludes by arguing that some of Sidgwick's intuitions fail to meet the conditions for self-evidence which Sidgwick himself established and applied to the rules of common-sense morality. 0. One aim of Henry Sidgwick’s The Methods of Ethics is to provide an argument for utilitarianism, the view that an agent acts rightly insofar as she performs that

  • Justifying Atonement: an Anselmian Response to Modern Critics
    Justifying Atonement: An Anselmian Response to Modern Critics Daniel Shannon DePauw University This paper considers three modern objections to Anselm’s argument on atonement in book I of Cur Deus Homo. The objections are from Friedrich Nietzsche, R. C. Moberly, and Hastings Rashdall; each one makes the case that Anselm’s argument is fallacious. Each one interprets Anselm’s position as requiring that someone innocent suffer punishment in order to acquit guilt. I contend that these objectors do not offer a strong case against Anselm’s argument, principally because they have not examined it completely and have misunderstood his reasoning. In fine, Anselm’s case is (a) the Son’s obedience to the Father suffices for atonement, (b) the Son is an advocate for Adam and his heirs and stands in for them because of his blood ties to humanity, and (c) the Son is the advocate for the Father in the latter’s attempt to end human estrangement from justice. Being both an advocate of the Father and an heir to Adam, the Son’s Incarnation itself prepares the way of reconciliation and the life of the upright will resolves estrangement. The fact that the Son suffers pain and death is due not to the Father’s will but to our resistance to the justice of the Son’s upright will. In the paper I provide an outline of Anselm’s original argument and attempt to show through analyzing its various parts how Anselm avoids the objections made against him. The basic assumptions that Anselm has about the motivation for redemption—the role of sin and suffering in humanity—and the resolution through love and justice is not alien to the modern critic.

    ^ National Library of Scotland BOOO 192299* 'WESTWOOD'S PAEOCHIAL DIRECTORY FOR THE COUNTIES OF FIFE AND KINROSS, CONTAINING THE MIES AND ADDRESSES OF GENTRY, AND OE PERSONS IN BUSINESS, e^c. CUPAR-FIFE: A. WESTWOOD. EDINBURGH : JOHN MENZIES. jJM^. A. WESTWOOD, PRINTER, CROSS, CUPAR. PREFACE. In introducing to the public the First Edition of the Parochial Directory of Fife and Kinross, the Publisher begs to state that the work has been in contemplation for several years ; and that nothing but a deep sense of the labour and responsibility attending such an undertaking, has prevented its earlier appearance. Now, that the intention has been matui'ed, he hopes that his labours will be generally appreciated. The Publisher expects that a work of such general utility as a Parochial Directory for the two Counties, will commend itself to the patronage of the public. Indeed, the interest taken in the under- taking, and the assistance so heai'tily rendered by all classes, place its success beyond a doubt ; and he embraces this opportunity of returning his thanks to those gentlemen who gave their aid in getting up the various Parochial Lists, and correcting the Proofs, In particular, he begs to express his special thanks to William Patrick, Esq., Assessor of Lands and Heritages for the County of Fife, who most matei-ially lessened his labours by placing at his disposal the Valuation Rolls made up by him ; and otherwise tendered such help as only one having a thorough knowledge of the County could give. The Publisher is aware that, although every effort has been made to secure such a measure of accui'acy as to make the undei-taking worthy of the two Counties, some typographical and other errors will be found in the body of the work ; but he hopes that they will not interfere with its general usefulness ; and he rests satisfied that those who can best appreciate the difficulties attending the getting up of such a work, will be the most ready to overlook those minor faults which could scarcely be avoided in the first issue of such a publication.

  • APPENDICES It Would Seem That Hume Had Predecessors, Or at The
    APPENDICES 1. THE PRECURSORS OF HUME (p. 58) It would seem that Hume had predecessors, or at the very least precursors, in the Middle Ages, in particular Robert Holkot in the twelfth century, about whom little is actually known (cf. IR 90, 342 [Loewenberg 87, 302]). As for Nicholas de Ultricuria [Nicolas of Autrecourt], who had previously been known only as an atomist and whose name has been suggested by Hastings RASHDALL ('Nicholas de Ultricuria, a Medieval Hume,' Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 7 [1906-1907] 3 ff.), among the texts cited the only thing we see that really applies to this question consists of the following lines from Nicholas's Thesis 15: Quibuscunque acceptis, que possunt esse causa alicujus effectus, nescimus evidenter quod ad positionem eorum sequatur effectus positio ["Whatever conditions we take to be the cause of any effect, we do not evidently know that, those conditions being posited, it follows that the effect must be posited also" (Rashdall 10)], and this passage perhaps does not quite suffice to demonstrate the English author's claim. It is highly significant that both Robert and Nicolas professed atomistic opinions, and it is at least quite probable that, for these two aspects of their doctrines, they were closely linked to the Arab Mutakallimun, whom they probably knew through the resumes and refutations of Jewish thinkers, notably Maimonides, and who, in addition to a radical atomism, maintained the impossibility of any logical connection between cause and effect (see Isaac HUSIK, A History of Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy, New York: Macmillan, 1916, pp. xxi-xxii, xxvii, 249).

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • The Thought of John Clark Murray a Victorian Frame of Mind
    A VICTORIAN FRAME OF MIND: THE THOUGHT OF JOHN CLARK MURRAY A VICTORIAN FRAME OF MIND THE THOUGHT OF JOHN CLARK MURRAY By CHARLES NICHOLAS TERPSTRA, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University April 1983 MASTER OF ARTS (1983) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: A Victorian Frame of Mind: The Thought of John Clark Murray AUTHOR: Charles Nicholas Terpstra, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. A.R. Allen NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 220 ii Abstract John Clark Murray (1836 - 1917) held the Chair of Mental and Moral Philosophy at Queen's College from 1862 to 1872, and at McGill University from 1872 until his retirement in 1903. The purpose of the present study is to offer a close historical examination of a thinker who has often been treated as a transitional thinker in histories of philosophical activity in nineteenth century Canada. The opening biographical chapter establishes the Scottish cultural tradition in which Murray was raised and whose social and educational values he continued to perpetuate in his own writing and teaching. The Scottish tradition clarifies the critical discussion in Chapter Two of some of the ambiguities of Murray's position with regard to the philosophical movements of the nineteenth century. In particular, the difficulties of classing Murray with either the Scottish Common Sense Realists, the Neo-Kantian or Neo-Hegelian Idealists, or the rising group of 'professional' philosophers are considered. Specific elements of the intellectual framework of John Clark Murray's thought are dealt with in Chapter Three.
