(e.g. geology, philosophy and medicine) Philosophy Most famous contribution(s) to scholarship 1 (i.e. in philosophy): Strongly influenced by Plato and the Greek philosophers, by Nettleship, Toynbee, and, above all, Thomas Hill Green (idealist philosophy); logic inspired by Bradley Contributions to journal Mind Knowledge and Reality, criticism of Bradley, which became basis for Logic in 1888 Aesthetics: influence by Morris; History of Aesthetic in 1892 Fabian Society invited him to explain his political standpoint in 1890: neither individualist nor committed to laissez-faire; willing to subscribe to the ideas of 'moral socialism'; believed 'economic socialists' were on the wrong track, disapproving their disrespect for private property, disparagement of saving, attack on the strict administration of the poor law, and their aim of complete equality and abolition of classes Social philosophy: “collectivist”; individual as function of the social organism, mind and being as production of the communities to which he belonged; individual had to be loyal to his state because the collectivism provided protection and opportunity for developing talents. Everyone has “actual will” (satisfaction of immediate desires, including impulses) and “real will” (satisfaction of desires beyond immediate ends, more permanent, including harmonising the own will with that of others). The real will thus is identified with a social way of living—with the 'general will' of the community. Ideally, a state should be in harmony with this general will, for it is then recognized by its members as rightfully exercising legislative and physical compulsion over them; in return, the state should not attempt to go beyond the general will by force. If it did, that would lead ultimately to a repressive 'machine-made utopia', faced with the dangers of disobedience and rebellion. The crucial tests of any social measure of the state were whether it had the approval of the general will, and whether it liberated fresh resources of character, will, and intelligence in the community. The Philosophical Theory of the State (1899) embodying these ideas: great achievement of British idealist philosophy Idealism: Lively intervention in professional debates concerning absolute idealism Appearance and Reality (1893) The Principle of Individuality and Value (1912), The Value and Destiny of the Individual (1913): no great advance on Bradley's brilliant work. Established “absolute idealism”: logic and the impulsion of human thought to discover ultimate reality -> absolute must exist (there, appearances of daily life only partially apprehendable) Christian deity merely an 'appearance' of the greater reality of the absolute: alienated Christian idealists (absolute = God), personal idealists (asked for more room for the individual); heaviest assault on idealism in general: at the turn of the century from the generation of Cambridge new realists, led by George Edward Moore and Bertrand Russell: idealism as ‘Germanic doctrine’, replaced with logical positivism and linguistic philosophy; but in the late twentieth century there were signs of a renewal of interest in idealism, especially among political philosophers.

Possible human interest story 3: The speech before the Fabian society marked the beginning of protracted disputes between the COS and Fabians and ‘new Liberals’ concerning methods of economic reform and remedies for pauperism. The disputes culminated in the great royal commission of inquiry into the poor laws (1905–9), in which Helen Bosanquet and Beatrice Webb played leading roles on opposite sides. Possible human interest story 4: Worked together with his wife on improving the COS and justifying its policy with principles of idealist philosophy; divided the poor into the categories of the “helpable” and the “unhelpable” rather than “deserving” and “undeserving”, which rather suggested that poverty was the people’s own fault; however, they rejected socialist ideas like free school meals etc. Connected to other people in St Andrews or elsewhere?: Thomas Hill Green Francis Herbert Bradley Biographical sources: (e.g. OxDNB, family memoir, other...)

Philosophy Most famous contribution(s) to scholarship 1 (i.e. in philosophy): Most important influences: Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Hamilton, Mill Interests: philosophical idealism, social reform, political philosophy Most work produced as tutor in Jesus College, Oxford British idealist: Interested in developing political and social philosophy from idealist foundations: application of evolutionary theories to social thought Study of Lamarck and Darwin: Darwinism and Politics (1889; 3rd edn, 1895) and in Principles of State Interference (1891; 4th ed, 1902): 'the theory of natural selection lends no support to the political dogma of laissez faire'; rather, evolutionary science pointed to the need for increased state intervention He challenged the antithesis between the individual and the state that had been established by nineteenth-century Liberals and which continued to underscore opposition to enlarging the role of the state. Arguing that this antithesis was founded on an aggregative view of individuals, Ritchie affirmed that individuals are indivisible from their membership in a society. In response to Mill, he denied that society was merely a collection of autonomous, self-governing individuals, or that state intervention curtailed individual freedom. Individual freedom lies in community with others, not in separation from them State as a moral entity: 'The state has as its end, the realisation of the best life by the individual': provided conditions in which the common good was enhanced -> defended compulsory education, factory legislation, and numerous other interventions, 'intelligent and scientific state action' above piecemeal philanthropic reforms Ritchie held that the laws of social evolution, properly examined, could equip the social reformer to guide society in the direction of progress. Vigorously opposed to intuitionism, with its consequent creed of political Conservatism, Ritchie remained a spirited advocate of uncompromising political reform. He ranged himself alongside progressive Liberals or socialists on most contemporary issues: he supported home rule for Ireland; he considered the South African War to be a just conflict; he advocated sweeping reform of property tenure; and he demonstrated a strong belief in world federation. Authoritative modification of utilitarianism: moral good is the deliberate adoption of those feelings, acts, and habits which are advantageous, not to the individual, but to the welfare of the whole community; affirmed that idealism and utilitarianism were wholly consistent Ritchie desired to draw parallels between idealism and other schools of thought. (e.g. demonstrated that idealism was not opposed to natural science, as some critics had argued) Critique of natural rights theory (Natural Rights, 1895): objected to the expectation that individuals possess rights independently from their political or social context and affirmed instead that rights are acquired only by membership in a society (other liberals such as L. T. Hobhouse and J. A. Hobson expressed concern that Ritchie had too sharply minimized the importance of individual rights to a just and democratic society) Ritchie was a passionate democrat: condemned the inequity of class difference, noting too the destructiveness of the inequalities between men and women; Ritchie had little faith that any innate sense of sympathy or common feeling could overcome the 'ceaseless struggle and competition' of the evolutionary process. Persuaded by Darwinian theories of natural selection and the struggle for existence, he was struck by the ubiquity of conflict and competition in and among societies. Darwin and Hegel (1893): parallels between the two thinkers Philosophical Studies (1905): to resolve confusion between fact and value, and between origin and validity; Ritchie's writing was plain, accessible, and polemical. His insistence that evolutionary theory lent no support for laissez-faire but rather was an argument for increased state intervention was followed by progressive political reformers, such as Sidney Webb and the new Liberals. His vision of a moral state, persuasively outlined in accessible articles and speeches, enjoyed a similar impact. Indeed, more than Green, Ritchie has been credited with establishing the basis for the new Liberal defence of an enlarged state. His communitarian interpretation of the relationship between the individual and the state in a just and progressive society also resonates in contemporary communitarian political theory. If you want to read one thing written by him/her, it should be: Darwin and Hegel (1893) Misc Any political involvement? Progressive political sympathies: An early friend, F. C. Montague, recalled: 'He was a zealous democrat, although his mode of thought seemed to have little affinity with that of the common mind. He was a socialist, and had the strongest belief in state action whenever possible' (Ritchie, 7) While he promoted socialist tenets, most notably in his attack on individualism and a minimalist state, Ritchie did not hold to any one socialist programme, and was even uncomfortable with several doctrines advanced by his fellow Fabians.

Possible human interest story 5: The reasons for Mair’s return to Scotland in 1531 are unknown, but perhaps he was simply homesick.

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.
