  • Nicholas Zammit
    Nicholas Zammit Nicholas Zammit (1815–1899) was a Maltese medical doctor, an architect, an artistic designer, and a major Nikola (Nicholas) Zammit philosopher. His area of specialisation in philosophy was chiefly ethics.[1] Throughout his philosophical career he did not adhere to just one intellectual position. Roughly two-thirds into his life, Zammit passed from a liberal way of thinking to a conservative one.[2] This does not mean that there are no carry-overs, developments, or continuations between the two phases, or that Zammit himself acknowledged such a division. Notwithstanding, the development suggests that an analysis of Zammit's works will reveal different attitudes, dispositions, emphasis, and conclusions of the two periods. Contents Life Beginnings Liberal Phase (1838–1876) First Writings Zammit's Liberalism Partnership with the British Born 20 November 1815 Teaching Career and more Publications Siggiewi, Malta Conservative Phase (1876–1899) Died 29 July 1899 (83 years) Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy Sliema, Malta Zammit's Conservatism Occupation Medicine, Architecture, Academic and Intellectual Work Philosophy Decline and death Spouse(s) Melita Schranz (marriage: Church Writings of St. Paul Shipwreck, Valletta, Major writings 1852) All writings in chronological order Parent(s) John Nicholas Zammit and Works of structural engineering and artistic Vicenza née Vella design Churches Memorials Artistic design Appreciation References Sources See also Life Beginnings Zammit was born at Siggiewi, Malta, on 29 November 1815, from John Nicholas Zammit and Vicenza née Vella.
