Henry Scott Holland

British theologian (1847-1918)

Henry Scott Holland is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Henry Scott Holland as British theologian (1847-1918).

Henry Scott Holland was born at Ledbury in 1847. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He studied at Eton College and Balliol College.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

His principal work is The King of Terrors. A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from United Kingdom matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Henry Scott Holland died in 1918, aged 71. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
