Biography
James Hutchison Stirling was born on June 22, 1820 in Glasgow. Graduate of the University of Edinburgh ; medical doctor by education. He studied philosophy in Germany [5] .
In 1865, with his book "The Secret of Hegel" , aroused great interest in the study of philosophy in Great Britain [5] . With the release of this book, neo-Hegelianism is emerging in the country [6] . At the end of the 19th century, this trend became widespread and was perceived as a response by the dominance of positivism and materialism . Its largest representatives in English-speaking countries were T. Green , F. G. Bradley , J. Royce , J. E. Mac-Taggart [7] , as well as Robin George Collingwood . By the end of the 20s of the 20th century, the school of absolute idealism (Anglo-Saxon neo-Hegelianism) ceased to exist, unable to withstand rivalry with the development of analytical philosophy in Britain and with American pragmatism and neorealism . However, the Hegelian method did not forever leave the social sciences, so Francis Fukuyama can be called the modern English-speaking neo-Hegelian.
Of Stirling's other works, the following are best known: " Sir William Hamilton, or the philosophy of perception " (1865); Jerold Tennyson and Macaulay , experience (1868); As regards protoplasm (2nd ed., 1872, against Huxley); β Lectures on the philosophy of law β (1873); β Textbook of Kant β (translation of β Critics of Pure Reason β with commentary and biography, 1881) [5] .
D.H. Stirling was a staunch opponent of Darwinism [8] and fiercely criticized left Hegelians [9] .
James Hutchison Stirling died on March 19, 1909 in the city of Edinburgh [8] .
