john macmurray

John Macmurray (1891 - 1976) was a Christian, communitarian moral philosopher. He was born in Scotland and attended Balliol College, Oxford. After service in World War I he pursued a career in philosophy first at Balliol and then at University College, London (preceding A.J.Ayer) and Edinburgh University. He gave the Gifford Lectures at Glasgow. His best known works are Interpreting the Universe (1933) and Religion, Art and Science (1961). He broadcast on philosophy with BBC radio prior to World War II. His philosophy is characterised by an interest in action rather than in thought. Interest in him has been rekindled because apparently he was a significant influence on the young Tony Blair.
