  Bernard Bosanquet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Bernard Bosanquet was born at Rock Hall (near Alnwick), Northumberland on 14 July 1848 and died in London on 8 February 1923.
Bosanquet maintained that, to provide a coherent account of the nature of state action, one must abandon some of the ‘individualist’ assumptions of liberalism, and he argued at length against the analysis of liberty and of law found in Bentham, Spencer and Mill.
Yet Bosanquet denied that religion could be ‘reduced’ to morality, and while he advised believers to scrutinize their religious beliefs — he challenged such notions as the personality of God and the existence of an afterlife — he held that faith itself was to be treated with respect.

 Bernard Bosanquet
In 1911 and 1912, Bosanquet was elected Gifford Lecturer in the University of Edinburgh.
Bosanquet's principal concern was to explain the basis of political authority and the state, the place of the citizen in society, and the nature, source and limits of human rights.
Bosanquet saw authority and the state neither as based on individual consent or a social contract, nor as simply institutions where there is a general recognition of a sovereign, but as products of the natural development of human life, and as expressions of what he called the ‘real’ or general will.

 The Collected Works of Bernard Bosanquet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1911 and 1912, Bosanquet was appointed Gifford Lecturer in the University of Edinburgh.
Bosanquet also continued to lecture, to serve on the executive of the COS and, though his health was starting to fail, was elected President of the 5th International Congress of Philosophy, which was to have been held in 1915 in London.
Bosanquet argues that there is a convergence both in aim and in result of the investigations of these "schools"— for example, on such matters as the reality of time and the confidence of progress in ethics and in the advance of humanity as a whole.

 20th WCP: Bosanquet, Culture, and the Influence of Idealist Logic
Bosanquet's account of religion is typical of the humanistic demythologising of the 19th century (e.g., by David Strauss and Ferdinand Baur) — although, interestingly, one also finds parallels between it and some contemporary philosophy of religion (e.g., that of D.Z. Phillips).
On Bosanquet's view, the will of the individual is "a mental system" whose parts — "ideas or groups of ideas" — are "connected in various degrees, and more or less subordinated to some dominant ideas which, as a rule, dictate the place and importance" of the other ideas that one has.
Recall that, in his account of religion, Bosanquet speaks of religion as having 'evolved' from a 'subjective' to an 'objective' form, towards what he calls 'Absolute religion.' It is just this 'evolution' — an inherent operation of the principle of non-contradiction — that is present in his account of knowledge and thought as a whole.

 Animus: Brian Trainor, 'Statism' and 'Anti-Juristic Moralism' in Bosanquet's Political Philosophy
Bosanquet is clearly unsympathetic to this enterprise, to what he regards as the inappropriate use of the language of physical science in a sphere (human society) where its employment is bound to be generally distorting in its effects.
What Bosanquet objects to in Rousseau's account is not the procedures he employs to arrive at the great will but the fact that Rousseau so strenuously insists that individuals who hope to realise this will are to be completely unassisted in their task; they are forbidden access to an invaluable resource, ie.
It is highly likely, then, that Bosanquet saw his writings as a theoretical expression of the moral universe into which he was born, to which he belonged, and of which a strong 'juristic tradition' was an integral part.

Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923) was in Britain, second to F. Bradley, the most important exponent of a wholist philosophy often called Absolute Idealism.
Bosanquet's wholist theory of knowledge is based on his philosophic logic, which gives logical principles priority as foundations of knowledge; as opposed to epistemology, theory of knowledge based on empirical principles.
Bosanquet says that knowledge, as a whole is a system; what he is talking about is a coherent theory of knowledge and truth.

It is important for a proper understanding of Bosanquet's philosophy that one recognize that the elaboration of his metaphysics came some time after his work in ethics, social work and political philosophy.
Bosanquet, like many of his fellow idealists, was raised in an Evangelical household; his later philosophical views, then, can be seen as a continuation, rather than an interruption or contradiction of, his early religious convictions.

 Negotiating the Modern Wilderness of Interests: Bernard Bosanquet on Cultural Diversity
The first section rehearses the critique of Millian liberalism developed by Bhikhu Parekh and others, which alleges that the considerations of individuality and autonomy underlying such a political order preclude it from showing adequate respect for cultures which do not conceive of personal identity in essentially individualistic terms.
The next section sketches Bosanquet's social theory, as a preclude to the rebuttal of allegedly insurmountable barriers to the theory's accommodation of cultural diversity.
It is concluded that, when drawing on Bosanquet's thought, a liberal multicultural society can take different forms and yet still show proper respect for cultural diversity.

According to Bosanquet, all contradictions are merely apparent and are wholly harmonized as part of the Absolute, a process said to account for the possibility of judgments about beauty in his History of Aesthetics (1892).
Bosanquet further argued in The Philosophical Theory of the State (1899) that individual human beings are properly understood only in terms of their social and cultural efforts at transcendence.
