UNKNOWN HEROES OF PHILOSOPHICAL DISCOURSE: S. HODGSON AND G.F. STOUT

Abstract

S. Hodgson and G.F. Stout were remarkable, but insufficiently studied philosophers and presidents of the early Aristotelian society. The report is about their conceptions which despite almost unknown in the contemporary philosophy make us pay attention to them. For example S. Hodgson’s philosophy was the subject of discussion about its place in the phenomenological movement. G.F. Stout’s philosophy is interesting not only because he was the G.E. Moore’s and B. Russel’s lecturer. His philosophy was arguably ascribed to idealistic direction in British philosophy of XIX–XX century. There are few contemporary studies where the influence of G.F. Stout on the emergence of analytical philosophy is considered. The report will consider the metaphilosophical role of "common sense in G.F. Stout’s philosophy.
