In 1849, after getting involved in a political conflict in his home country, he settled in St Andrews. Following his arrival, he taught languages at Madras College while studying photography and the photographic calotype process with local photographer Thomas Rodger. Szabό opened his first studio in 1857 after moving to Edinburgh. He died shortly after in 1858. Despite the success he experienced during his lifetime, he remains almost entirely forgotten as a photographer.

Philosophy Most famous contribution(s) to scholarship /inventions/… 1 (i.e. in philosophy): Devoted to Hegel, as a heredity from his father, who had studied under Edward Caird in Glasgow New translation of the Philosophy of Right Hegel and Prussianism (1940): foolishness of simply writing Hegel’s philosophy off as precursor to Nazism; important for British Hegel studies Therefore, leading authority on Hegelianism in English-speaking world Against the phenomenological approach: “philosophical errors” If you want to read one thing written by him/her, it should be: Hegel and Prussianism (1940) Misc Any political involvement?

Royal society of Edinburgh (member, later vice-president) 1978: financial contribution to founding of Hegel society in Great Britain Associated places in St Andrews: (e.g. home, lab, favourite spot) Office of principal and vice-chancellor Possible human interest story 1: Although Knox was born and educated in England, he always felt a deep connection with Scotland, as his parents were of Scottish descent. Possible human interest story 2: Knox gained a reputation as excellent teacher and very good administrator of the university. Therefore, he was elected to the court of the university (governing body of Scottish universities): position of influence in academic and administrative developments. Possible human interest story 3: The move to St Andrews was for Knox a “spiritual return” to Scotland. Possible human interest story 4: As principal, he made some reforms to restore the old glory of the university. He arranged for the words 'to engage in research' to be written retrospectively into the contracts of all lecturers and readers, where the pursuit of research (in contrast to professorial contracts) had (deliberately?) been omitted. He took immense trouble over professorial appointments, among other the chair of moral philosophy (vacant by his appointment as principal), now to be occupied by A. D. Woozley. Moreover, he was able to stabilise the university’s finances in a short time. He also relaxed the tense relationship with the college in Dundee by making the Dundee colleagues his supporters, but was not able to avert the establishment of an independent university in 1966. Additionally, he encouraged the engagement in research of his colleagues Possible human interest story 5: Defined as “academic dinosaur” Connected to other people in St Andrews or elsewhere?

Theologian Associated places in St Andrews: (e.g. home, lab, favourite spot) Hard to tell: possibly St Salvador’s chapel and Cathedral, because they already existed at the time of Mair Possible human interest story 1: It has been suggested that he also studied in St Andrews, but a passage in his commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard (In primum sententiarum, fol. 34r) makes it clear that as late as 1510 he had not been in that city. Possible human interest story 2: Many Schottish people studied in France before the establishment of the university of St Andrews, and also after this. Possible human interest story 3: Reputation very high when he left Paris in 1518: Quality of his writings Quality of his teaching Leadership of a team of scholars Possible human interest story 4: Came to St Andrews the same year as Patrick Hamilton (who later became first martyr of Scottish Reformation), but made clear that he was opposed to his “heretical views”. Possible human interest story 5: The reasons for Mair’s return to Scotland in 1531 are unknown, but perhaps he was simply homesick. He wrote: 'Our native soil attracts us with a secret and inexpressible sweetness and does not permit us to forget it'. Connected to other people in St Andrews or elsewhere?: Girolamo Aleandro Patrick Hamilton George Lokert, pupil John Knox: pupil in St Andrews Awards/Honours: Dean of the faculty of theology Any eye-witness testimony/stories: Juan Gomez, writing to Jerome de Canbanyelle, the Spanish king's envoy in France, said: I am following the theology course of John Mair with great interest as he is a deeply knowledgeable man whose virtue is as great as his faith … May the eternal king deign to grant him long life that he may for long years be useful to our alma mater, the University of Paris. This indicates that Mair was a great teacher. In a famous phrase Knox refers to Mair as a man 'whose word was then held as an oracle on matters of religion' (History of the Reformation, 1.15).

Circle of Hamilton Associated places in St Andrews: (e.g. home, lab, favourite spot) Seat of the chair of moral philosophy Possible human interest story 1: In Oxford, Ferrier did not study as much as his father wished and was not an academically excellent student. He preferred riding, hunting, conversation. Possible human interest story 2: Impressed by Sir William Hamilton: Dissatisfied with the narrow provincialism and arid pieties of the then dominant common-sense school of Scottish philosophy, influenced by contemporary German thought, thus task of philosophical revisionism and cultural reform: Ferrier as an enthusiastic recruit Possible human interest story 3: Visit of Germany in 1834: study of language, literature, philosophy: influenced particularly by Hegel Possible human interest story 4: Lectures (also published as articles) on moral philosophy, Greek philosophy, political economy, and metaphysics: subtle dialectician, outspoken innovator, unapologetic partisan in the intellectual controversies convulsing Scotland due to Disruption of 1843 Possible human interest story 5: His very controversial views earned him respect, but also considerable criticism. Thus, he failed twice to be elected to chairs at the University of Edinburgh – and stayed in St Andrews. In Scottish Philosophy, the Old and the New (1856), he attacked his critics.
