John Niemeyer Findlay

John Niemeyer Findlay, known as J. N. Findlay (; 25 November 1903 – 27 September 1987), was a South African philosopher.
==Education and career==
After reading classics and philosophy as a boy and at the University of Pretoria, Findlay received a Rhodes scholarship to Balliol College Oxford for the years 1924–1926 before completing his doctorate in 1933 at Graz, where he studied under Ernst Mally. From 1926 to 1966 he was professor of philosophy at the University of Pretoria, the University of Otago in New Zealand, Rhodes University College, Grahamstown, the University of Natal, Pietermartizburg, King’s College, Newcastle upon Tyne, and King's College London. Following retirement from his chair at London (1966) and a year at the University of Texas at Austin, Findlay continued to teach full-time for more than twenty years, first as Clark Professor of Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics at Yale University (1967–1972), then as University Professor and Borden Parker Bowne Professor of Philosophy (succeeding Peter Bertocci) at Boston University (1972–1987).〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate = 2008-07-10 )
He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1955 to 1956 and president of the Metaphysical Society of America from 1974 to 1975, as well as a Fellow of both the British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also an Editorial Advisor of the journal Dionysius. A chair for visiting professors at Boston University carries his name, as does a biennial award given for the best book in metaphysics, as judged by the Metaphysical Society of America. Findlay betrayed a great commitment to the welfare and formation〔'"I owe to () teaching, directly or indirectly, all that I know of either Logic or Ethics" (A. N. Prior).〕 of generations of students (Leroy S. Rouner was fond of introducing him as "Plotinus incarnate"), teaching philosophy in one college classroom after another for sixty-two consecutive academic years. On 10 September 2012 Findlay was voted the 8th "most underappreciated philosopher active in the U.S. from roughly 1900 through mid-century" in a poll conducted among readers of Leiter Reports: A Philosophy Blog, finishing behind George Santayana, Alfred North Whitehead, and Clarence Irving Lewis.
Findlay's autobiographical essay, 'Confessions of Theory and Life', is printed in ''Transcendence and the Sacred'', ed. A.M. Olson & L.S. Rouner, Notre Dame & London: University of Notre Dame Press, 1981, pp. 176-92.
