William George de Burgh FBA (English /dˈbɜːr/; D’-ber; 24 October 1866 – 27 August 1943) was an English philosopher who was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Reading.[2]
Career
Born on 24 October 1866 in Wandsworth,[3][4] de Burgh was educated at Winchester and Merton College, Oxford.[5] He was a founding member of the University of Reading,[citation needed] where he became Professor of Philosophy in 1907.[4] His works include Towards a Religious Philosophy (1937),[6] From Morality to Religion (1938),[citation needed] and The Legacy of the Ancient World (1924).[4]
A committed Anglican,[7] he endeavoured to justify the revealed truth of the gospel in terms of rationalism[4] and thereby defend it against both the contemporary Protestant theological trend for anti-rationalism and the dominant philosophy of logical positivism.[citation needed] He died 27 August 1943 in Toller Porcorum, Dorset.[4]
