  Bernard Bosanquet
In 1911 and 1912, Bosanquet was elected Gifford Lecturer in the University of Edinburgh.
Bosanquet was one of the earliest philosophers in the Anglo-American world to appreciate the work of Edmund Husserl, Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Gentile and Emile Durkheim, and the relation of his thought to that of Ludwig Wittgenstein, G.E. Moore and Bertrand Russell is significant, though still largely unexplored.
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.

 Bernard Bosanquet
Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923), British philosopher, political theorist and social reformer, was one of the principal exponents (with F.H. Bradley) of late nineteenth and early twentieth century ‘Absolute Idealism.’
Bosanquet's philosophical views on religion were in large part influenced by early nineteenth century biblical studies — initially, mediated through the writings of his Oxford tutors, Edward Caird and Benjamin Jowett.
Bosanquet's account of the production of the work of art and the nature of aesthetic appreciation is arguably an advance on Hegel, not only in the understanding of art and aesthetic experience as something more than a prelude to Religion, but in re-situating them within the history of the development of consciousness.

 20th WCP: Bosanquet, Culture, and the Influence of Idealist Logic
It has been suggested that Bosanquet's philosophical views, especially on topics related to culture, were determined by the 'absolutist' metaphysics he inherited from Hegel and F. Bradley, and that one can see a shift in his work from an early humanism, contemporary with his studies in logic, to a late anti-humanism.
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).
I would suggest that what underlies Bosanquet's study of culture — and the whole of his philosophical work — is his logic and, specifically, his view of the logical character of 'individuality.' His earliest philosophical work was in logic, and his interest in logic continued through his career.

 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.
A further consideration that tells against Bosanquet as a genuinely juristic thinker, it could be argued, is that the 'juristic' conception of the individual finds its 'natural' juristic/political expression in the state conceived of in a manner which Bosanquet decisively rejects, ie., the state as a (civil) association.
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.

He described himself as a 'the philosopher of Fascism', and ghostwrote A Doctrine of Fascism (1932) for Benito Mussolini.
In 1944 he was killed by a group of anti-fascist partisans while returning from the Prefecture in Florence, ironically, where he was arguing for the release of anti-fascist thinkers.
Gentile had believed so firmly in the philosophical concreteness of Fascism as having a dialectical intelligence surpassing intellectual scrutiny, that he presumed intellectual opposition could only reinforce and give credence to help the truth of his conception of Fascism as a superior and liberally thinking polity.
