Ferdinand Canning Scott Schiller

Schiller, Ferdinand Canning Scott

Born Aug. 16, 1864, near Altona; died Aug. 6, 1937, in Los Angeles. British idealist philosopher, representative of pragmatism.

Schiller taught at Oxford University from 1903 to 1926. He became a professor at the University of Southern California in the USA in 1929. Schiller’s version of pragmatism, called humanism, is based on the premise that knowledge as a product of human activity reproduces only the human element of a reality dependent on human activity. Unlike W. James, Schiller saw the criterion of truth not in the sensible, but only in the good (useful) consequences of an action. Schiller’s metaphysics was a combination of pragmatic subjective idealism and voluntarism, personalism, and teleology (god, according to Schiller, is the driving force of development, a reasonable and personal spirit). In the sociopolitical sphere, Schiller took an anticommunist stand and sympathized with fascism.
