Donald M. MacKinnon
Donald Mackenzie MacKinnon (27 August 1913 – 2 March 1994) was a Scottish philosopher and theologian. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, and held academic appointments in Oxbridge and Scotland - including Regius Professor of Moral Philosophy at Aberdeen University (1947–60) and Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University (1960–78).〔https://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/obits_alpha/mackinnon_donald.pdf Biography at Royal Society of Edinburgh homepage〕 MacKinnon delivered the Gifford Lectures in 1965 and 1966 on ‘The Problem of Metaphysics’. A revised version of the lectures was published under the same name in 1974.〔http://www.giffordlectures.org/Browse.asp?PubID=TPPMET&Cover=TRUE Gifford lectures page for Mackinnon, retrieved 6 December 2009〕 He was a Scottish Episcopalian and married to Lois Dryer.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-professor-donald-mackinnon-1427917.html Independent obituary, retrieved 6 December 2009.〕
MacKinnon is noted for his contributions to philosophical theology. He is particularly noted for the depth of analysis he applied to intractable theological problems, not least the refusal to simplify difficult questions in order to produce tidy or conclusive answers. His insistence on truth over tidiness is evident in his method of thought, an approach which some have labelled ‘open-textured’.〔Daniel Hardy, 'Theology through philosophically mediated life' in David Ford, ed., ''The Modern Theologians'' (1997), p272.〕 The label derives from MacKinnon's use of literary, artistic, and political sources in his work - modes of enquiry which operate in contrast to the systematic and epistemologically narrow approach of some theology and philosophy.〔Daniel Hardy, ‘Theology through philosophically mediated life' in David Ford, ed., ''The Modern Theologians'' (1997), p276.〕
The intensity of MacKinnon's thought was matched by his lecturing style, which was marked by 'his dangerously strong charisma, his ability to terrify adversaries'.〔Theo Hobson, ''Anarchy, Church and Utopia'' (2005), p14.〕 Some former students admit to 'spending more time mimicking him than following his arguments about Kant or Hegel'.〔Rupert Shortt, ''Rowan's Rule'' (2008), p61.〕 At Aberdeen he was notorious among the students for talking to the ivy on the walls of King's College. Former students Iris Murdoch, Philippa Foot and Rowan Williams expressed deep indebtedness and admiration for his input into their intellectual development.〔Peter Conradi, ''Iris Murdoch: A life'' (2002), p. 123; Alex Voorhoeve, 'The Grammar of Goodness', in ''Conversations on Ethics'' (2009), p. 92; Rupert Shortt, ''Rowan's Rule'' (2008), p. 63; 〕 His influential input into important and relatively widely read thinkers' work, such as Williams and Murdoch, would suggest that MacKinnon’s contribution to theology and philosophy is most strongly felt through the subsequent work of his students.〔Fergus Kerr, editorial, ''New Blackfriars'', May 2004.〕 By contrast, MacKinnon did not publish extensively, and that which he did publish is largely in short essay form and out of print.
