Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge as Canadian American theologian (1867-1940).
Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge was born at Windsor in 1867. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Amherst College and Union Theological Seminary.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
His academic posts were held at Columbia University and University of Minnesota.
Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
That the work was done from United States matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge died in 1940, aged 73. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
