 John Anderson, Scottish Natural Philosopher
John Anderson was born in Dunbartonshire in 1726.
Anderson was interested in the practical applications of scientific theory - he erected the first lightening conductor in Glasgow on one of the university's steeples, and acquired an early Newcomen steam engine which - after Anderson asked him to repair it - sparked James Watt's ideas on a more efficient approach to steam engines.
It was to be known as Anderson's University, and was to be managed by 81 trustees with occupations ranging from farmers to lawyers.

 Welfare in the Servile State'
It was this phrase which the philosopher John Anderson took up in Sydney during the last war, in 1943, in the course of diagnosing the development of regimentation and servility in Australia.
Anderson in 1943 was in the process of liberating himself from "the worker's movement" - though not from a belief in the reality of "movements".
Anderson passionately opposed idealism, and that was no doubt part of the reason why he was so acute in sniffing out the debased misreading of idealist philosophy by which governments purport to be that higher, more expert level of understanding which is superior to what we as individual citizens might think.

 The Conservative Philosopher Anderson on Taxation
In her most recent post, Anderson argues that Hayek's critique of the notion of social justice succeeds in demonstrating the hopelessness of distributing wealth and income according to desert.
This brings us to Anderson's second post, where she denies that there are any natural rights to private property, and her first, where she argues that even if there were such rights, the taxation she favors would still be legitimate.
Secondly, however, Anderson seems too glibly to suppose that a commitment to natural property rights is incompatible with recognition of the value of many of the conventional aspects of the rules of property operative in modern economies.

 JOHN ANDERSON - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN ANDERSON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
(1726-1796), Scottish natural philosopher, was born at Roseneath, Dumbartonshire, in 1726.
In 1756 he became professor of oriental languages in the university of Glasgow, where he had finished his education; and in 1760 he was appointed to the more congenial post of professor of natural philosophy.
He devoted himself particularly to the application of science to industry, instituting courses of lectures intended especially for artisans, and he bequeathed his property for the foundation of an institution for the furtherance of technical and scientific education in Glasgow, Anderson's College, now merged in the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College.

 (Interview of John Cage: Laurie Anderson: HOMEpage OF THE BRAVE)
Eighty-year-old John Cage seems more clearly than ever to be the single indispensable figure in the experimental culture of the postwar era.
As philosopher and provocateur, multidisciplinary artist and father of contemporary chance-determined music, Cage has inspired generations of artists East and West to bridge the gaps between Art and Life.
Anderson initiated a discussion with Cage forTricycle early in March 1992; I came for a second session not long afterward, joining them in his comfortable, sky-lit New York City loft, surrounded by abundant houseplants, paintings, and books, and drinking his Cafix-a fig and grain beverage that Laurie also drinks at home.

 William Mitchell [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Although much had been written on early Scottish philosophical influences on the development of Australian philosophy, the focus of this work has centred mainly on the Sydney connection—particularly, the writing and influence of John Anderson, Challis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney (1927-58).
Mitchell’s views demonstrate cautious materialist and non-doctrinaire realist themes—themes which have more in common with contemporary philosophical work (for example, current work in cognitive science) than with the idealist tradition; views which are also indicative of the region of the world in which he worked.
It is certainly true that Mitchell, unlike Anderson and those materialists that followed him, took consciousness as a phenomenon to be explained in its own terms, not reduced, eliminated or ignored.

 Vanishing Point - Walter Anderson Museum of Art
Anderson continued to fulfill his obligation to decorate pottery for his family back on the mainland at the Shearwater compound, but the time he spent on Horn Island was integral to his existence and his very survival.
In his logs, Anderson reflects on man’s relationship to nature: “If he makes friends with it (nature), does he lose the careless relation that is so important, as every farmer knows from the careless sowing of seeds.
Walter Anderson sought to become as one with the natural world, to know it, to experience it, to see the familiar as new and unfamiliar (to “realize it”).
