John Watson (philosopher)
John Watson (1847-1939) was a Canadian philosopher and academic.
==Life==
John Watson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1847. He attended the Free Church School in Kilmarnock, then enrolled at the University of Edinburgh. Within a month, however, he was drawn to the University of Glasgow by the reputations of the brothers John Caird, professor of divinity, and Edward Caird, professor of moral philosophy. On completion of his studies in 1872, he was appointed on the basis of the recommendation of his mentor Edward Caird to the Chair of Logic, Metaphysics, and Ethics at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Caird had written that "Watson is perhaps a man of the 'driest light' that I know. I do not know anyone who sees his way more clearly through any philosophical entanglements."〔Wallace, Robert C., ed.: ''Some Great Men of Queens''. Toronto: Ryerson Press, 1941, p. 24.〕 He spent the remainder of his career at Queen's and died in Kingston in 1939. Among his works are ''Kant and his English Critics'', ''Christianity and Idealism'', and ''The State in Peace and War''.〔http://www.jrank.org/literature/pages/8872/John-Watson.html〕 He was the Gifford Lecturer for 1910-1912 at the University of Glasgow after which his lectures were published as ''The Interpretation of Religious Experience''.〔http://www.giffordlectures.org/Author.asp?AuthorID=176〕 He was a charter member of the Royal Society of Canada.〔http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0008483〕 Watson Hall at Queen's University is named after him.〔http://www.queensu.ca/campusmap/?mapquery=watson〕〔http://qnc.queensu.ca/Encyclopedia/w.html#Watson〕〔http://qnc.queensu.ca/Encyclopedia/j.html#JohnWatson〕
