  James Hutchison Stirling [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
James Hutchison Stirling was a 19th century British Idealist philosopher.
In 1865 Stirling's The Secret of Hegel appeared and marked the inauguration of a new era in the development of English idealism.
The standpoint is always the same -- that of the Hegelian idealism, which Stirling is inclined to interpret in a theistic rather than in a pantheistic sense.

 §31. Stirling’s "Secret of Hegel". I. Philosophers. Vol. 14. The Victorian Age, Part Two. The Cambridge ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Hegel was described as the reconciler of philosophy and religion, and Stirling, fascinated by the thought, soon afterwards threw up his practice, settled for some years on the continent—in Germany and in France—and devoted himself with ardour to philosophical study, especially to the mastery of Hegel’s system.
In Hegel’s construction he found a method and point of view which justified the fundamental ideas of religion, and, at the same time, made clear the one-sidedness of the conceptions of the “age of enlightenment,” at the end of which Kant stood, still hampered by its negations and abstractions.
And Stirling’s favourite and most lively criticisms were directed against the apostles of the enlightenment and their followers of the nineteenth century.

 ANNE C. DAILEY, Holmes And The Romantic Mind, 48 Duke L. J. 429 (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The short-lived friendship between Holmes and James during these few years was formed not in spite of their differences -- James the tender-minded philosopher and Holmes the tough-minded lawyer -- but at least in part because of a shared philosophical aversion to absolute idealist philosophies.
James was the first to formulate a functional theory of consciousness, and his psychological ideas provided an empirical foundation for the pragmatist philosophy he spawned.
James emphasized individual will as a fact of human nature that served to unify mental processes by reference to functional ends.

 SEP: Scottish Philosophy in the 19th Century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The principal figures are Sir William Hamilton, James Frederick Ferrier and Alexander Bain, and later in the century, the so-called “Scottish Idealists” notably Edward Caird, Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison, D.G. Ritchie and Sir Henry Jones.
Stirling is credited with bringing Hegel to the attention of British (and not just Scottish) philosophy for the first time, though a wit at the time remarked that if Stirling did know the secret of Hegel, he had kept it to himself!
Though Stirling was, in modern terms, a layman (he held no university post) the book was well received, and it is a matter of some consequence that it contained significant criticism of Hamilton.

It was there in 1870 that his famous 8ft diameter driving wheel 4-2-2 'Stirling Single' first appeared, becoming a legend for its speed and power; one is preserved in the National Railway Museum in York.
In the same year he patented a hot-air engine operating on what became known as the Stirling cycle, in which the working fluid (air) is heated at one end of the cylinder by an external source of heat.
In 1631 he was made sole printer of King James, Sixth of Scotland, and First of England's version of the Psalms.

 A Critic Criticised, by Alfred Russel Wallace
Dr. Stirling begins his preface thus: "Perhaps it may be thought that, on the whole, I might very well have spared myself this small venture"; and such of his readers as know anything of Darwin's theories and works will most cordially agree with him.
To enforce this, his own depreciatory phrases--that he learnt almost nothing at school and college, that he could never follow abstract trains of thought, that mathematics were repugnant to him, and that he was compelled to conclude that "his brain was never formed for much thinking"--are fully set forth.
After Dr. Stirling's confident assertion that there is no struggle and no survival, and that the very idea of there being any such phenomena is "absurdity's self," we shall not be surprised to find that he prides himself on having cleared up a subject which Darwin left vague, indefinite, and obscure.

His assailant was James Beattie (1735—1803), the young professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic at Marischal College, Aberdeen, who believed that Hume’s sceptical and anti-religious philosophy posed a public threat to religion and morality.
An intriguing twist to the story of Hume’s death surfaced at the turn of the 19th century, but was soon forgotten and has since gone unnoticed by Hume scholars.
