The Northern Line The Northern Line No 5 August 2007 An on-line journal dedicated to the life and work of John Anderson Edited by Mark Weblin. This journal is funded entirely from donations. Please forward any donations to 226 Blaxland Rd, Wentworth Falls 2782 Email: [email protected] In this issue: John Anderson in Scotland Introduction....................................................................................................................................................................................1 The Democratic Intellect ...............................................................................................................................................................5 From Idealist to Realist................................................................................................................................................................13 Introduction Very little is known of John Anderson’s residence in Scotland and of his writings which survive from that time, very little is widely available. Jim Packer has done some important work in the past few years, typing out some of John’s essays including his M.A. thesis on William James.1 The remainder of the primary material, including the correspondence between John and Jenny, exists only in manuscript form in the Anderson Archives.2 In the only continuous treatment of this subject, Brian Kennedy devotes a few chapters to John’s activities from this time and this research was based on three primary sources: John’s letters to Jenny, John’s academic essays, and John’s contributions to the Glasgow University Magazine (G.U.M.).3 Kennedy had access to the Anderson papers while Sandy Anderson was still alive (i.e. before the Anderson Archive was created) and from this material Kennedy derives a number a conclusions about John’s personality and character: John was engaged in sibling rivalry with his elder brother William; John’s emotional demands on his mother may have contributed to her going into a sanatorium; John maintained a public academic persona which conflicted with his private radical persona; John studied for two degrees at Glasgow.4 The following two articles have been written as chapters for my biography of Anderson’s life and influence. ‘The Democratic Intellect’ will appear in A Philosophic Life and will focus on the general social and cultural influences which played a part in Anderson’s life. ‘From Idealist to Realist’ will appear in From Realist to Idealist and will deal more specifically with Anderson’s philosophical development. In the preparation of these chapters, I have referred to some of the papers from this period held in the Anderson Archives and consulted some works pertaining to the social, political and cultural life of Scotland during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These latter works include George Davie’s work on the ‘Democratic Intellect’, A.O. Morgan’s work on Keir Hardie, and a number of academic articles on Scottish philosophy. While in one sense this is rather narrow background reading, it has been sufficient to illustrate the general social trends existing in Scotland at that time which provides a context to some of the minutiae contained in the Anderson archives. One point which emerges clearly from an understanding of this part of the Anderson Archives, is that as far as Anderson’s political and aesthetic and literary writings go, there is almost no surviving material on these subjects from 1 Jim Baker has also written an excellent account of John’s intellectual background and development in Scotland. See Baker, A.J. ‘Anderson’s intellectual background and formative influences’ Heraclitus Part I No. 33 Oct. 1993 pp 4-12; Part II No. 34 Jan. 1994 pp 5-8. 2 Series 1 and 2 of the Anderson Archives contains all of Anderson’s remaining material from his Scottish period. Series 2 contains two copies of Anderson’s logic book while Series 1 contains a large amount of miscellaneous material. The only known omission from the Anderson Archives from this time is John’s prize winning essay, ‘Is the State a Moral Agent?’, which Sydney University Archives has recently agreed to acquire from Glasgow University Archives. Series 18 & 23 of the Archives contains the correspondence between John and Jenny. 3 Kennedy, B. A Passion to Oppose MUP, Melbourne, 1996 4 Kennedy op cit pp 22, 35, 37 2 his residence in Scotland. This implies that John’s writings on these subjects during his early years in Sydney (say 1927 to 1931) are the main sources of evidence for inferences about what political and aesthetic views he may have had in Scotland and what cultural influences he may have been exposed to. For example, John’s writings for the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Australia, The Communist, between 1927 and 1928 must be expressions of the political theory he had formed in Scotland prior to his departure. Similarly, his 1930 paper on ‘Ulysses’ is the earliest paper in existence that deals with James Joyce and the views presented in his many papers on Joyce and other writers and literary themes for the S.U. Literary Society during its early years must have been developed while he was in Scotland. Similarly, the substance of John’s early papers on Freethought must also have been formed in Scotland. With regard to John’s philosophic writings, there exists a good collection of material in the archives from 1916 to 1926 which enables us to understand his philosophic development clearly. One interesting point of contrast between John’s philosophic work and his more popular contributions to the Glasgow University Magazine (G.U.M.) is that while his surviving philosophical writings from Scotland do not indicate an acceptance of Realism or Empiricism until the early 1920’s, his writings for the G.U.M. suggest a rejection of Idealism from as early as 1916. However before discussing John’s contributions to the G.U.M., it is necessary to dispel a few inaccuracies and judgements which appear in Brian Kennedy’s work A Passion to Oppose. The easiest to refute is Kennedy’s claim that John enrolled in two degrees at Glasgow University. John Anderson was unusual in doing two honours degrees, not a combined degree, one of them in mathematics and natural philosophy, the other in logic and moral philosophy. After studying first year Greek, Latin and mathematics, he spent three years studying mathematics and natural philosophy, with some laboratory work; and then embarked on another three years of moral philosophy, logic and political economy.1 This statement has puzzled me for many years and so I recently emailed the Archives at Glasgow University for clarification on the issue. The response from the duty archivist was straight-forward. John obtained with only one degree, an M.A. in philosophy, graduating in 1917. She also provided details of his academic transcript. After first year Greek, Latin and Mathematics, he studied four subjects over the next two years: in 2nd year he studied Natural Philosophy (including physical laboratory work) and Mathematics and in 3rd year, Moral Philosophy, Logic, and Natural Philosophy. In his 4th year he did Mathematics (Hons) and Natural Philosophy (higher) and in his final two years he studied Logic, Moral Philosophy and Political Economy. While I cannot claim to know or understand the academic requirements of an M.A. degree in philosophy at Glasgow University at this time, Anderson’s academic transcript appears to be a fairly straight forward record of what we would still recognise today as a standard M.A. degree. After studying compulsory first year subjects, over the next two years he studied Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Logic, and Moral Philosophy. In his fourth year, possibly his honours year, he studied honours level Mathematics and Higher Natural Philosophy. The mathematical and scientific orientation of this year did not appear to be a hindrance to his study in his final two years study (his M.A. course work and thesis?) of Moral Philosophy, Logic and Political Economy. If this is a correct understanding of Anderson’s academic progress, then it amply illustrates Davie’s claim about the comprehensive nature of the ‘democratic intellect’ where philosophy was the unifying subject under which all the special subjects could be studied. Mathematics, Natural Philosophy (possibly akin to something like Theoretical Physics or Hegel’s ‘Philosophy of Nature’) and Political Economy could have been special subjects within philosophy which would explain why his fourth year study of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy was followed by two years of study of Logic and Moral Philosophy. On the basis of this evidence, Kennedy’s claims that Anderson took two degrees and studied three years of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy followed by three years of Moral Philosophy and Logic are simply false. Another claim, where Kennedy is misleading rather than false, occurs in the following statement: In these circumstances it is useful to employ a distinction between the ‘public’ and the ‘private’ Anderson – the ‘public’ student contending for the glittering prizes and the favour of Sir Henry Jones, and the ‘private’ undergraduate, criticising and challenging the orthodoxies of the day. It is a familiar phenomenon, but in someone as intellectually ambitious and as ambivalent about authority as John Anderson, it is very striking. 1 Kennedy op cit p 35 (his emphasis) 3 For John Anderson, the winner of the university’s prestigious silver medal, the Edward Caird and Thomas Logan prizes, the Ferguson scholarship

There is a strik­ ing resemblance between the writings of the temperamental Scot­ tish moralist and the rhapsodies of the stern prophets of Isra­ el. Imos and Carlyle are at one in condemning the indolent rich for "selling the needy for a pair of shoes." They share a common attitude in their bitter denunciation of an institution­ alized religion which has hid the light of spiritual power to the point of extinction under the bushel of ecclesiastical formalism. Carlyle, though he turned away from the gates of a clerical career, became the outstanding religionist of his century, touching liberal thinkers in all fields of social en­ deavor those of the church, ^together with those of the political arena.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

  • Challenges To
    About the author Philosopher Lynne Renoir questions the traditional view of God as an all powerful being who created the universe and governs it according to his will. She argues that such an idea can be challenged philosophically, and that it does not accord with discoveries in modern science. On the other hand, she suggests, it is evident that experiences of transformation can occur in the lives of individuals who wholeheartedly embrace religious beliefs. Her book explores possible explanations for this situation by proposing that truth is found in the inner dimensions of a person’s being, and is not something that can be imposed from an external source. Renoir’s work was the result of her own difficulties in experiencing the transformation she sought through her Christian faith, and followed years of research undertaken in the areas of philosophy, science, and psychology.

  • Miscellaneous
    MISCELLANEOUS. JOHN CAIRD. (1820-18g8. ) Dr. John Caird, whose portrait we give in connexion with the present note, occupied the distinguished position of Principal of the University of Glasgow, JOHN CAIRD. Scotland. from 1873. till his lamented death in July, 18g8. With the exception of Gladstone and Carlyle. he was in many ways the most remarkable Scotsman of the last generation. At all events it may be said that he, along with his eminent brother, THE OPEN COURT. Edward Caird, now Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and for twenty-sevp.n years Professor of Philosophy in the University of Glasgow. accomplished more than any two men elsewhere in Europe to alter the entire intellectual outlook of a na­ tion. John Caird was born at Greenock, on the Clyde, in 1820. In 1845, after a dis­ tinguished academic career, he graduated from the University of Glasgow, and entered the ministry of the Church of Scotland as a moderate Calvinist. Between 1845 and 1857 he gained the reputation. which he never lost, of being the most elo­ quent preacher in Britain. Those who know say that no one could stand compari­ son with him, and that only Schenkel of Heidelberg served to remind one of him. He thus gained enormous influence with masses of men; and his opportunity to use this continuously came when he was removed to Glasgow, in 1857. But, ere this took place, a change had come over his opinions. He had been deeply affected by German thought, especially by Hegel and Vatke. When he was appointed to the professorship of Theology at Glasgow, in 1862, he had both occasion and time to continue his researches, with the result that he became to his countrymen the great spokesman of a modified Hegelianism.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    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.
