James Frederick Ferrier and the Course of Scottish Philosophy
View through CrossRef
Widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most gifted philosophers in the 19th century, James Frederick Ferrier stands in a distinctive relation to the Scottish philosophical tradition. While dismissively rejecting Thomas Reid, he was emphatic that his philosophy was ‘Scottish to the core’ and rejected suggestions that he had adopted Hegelianism. In the course of exploring Ferrier’s significance for philosophy in his own time, this chapter engages with recent discussions of his work by Douglas McDermid and W J Mander.
