Autorenporträt
John Stuart Blackie was a distinguished Scottish scholar and man of letters, born on July 28, 1809, in Glasgow, and notable for his versatile contributions to the literary and intellectual milieu of the 19th century. He was a formidable figure in academic circles, renowned for his expertise in classical languages and his passionate Scottish nationalism. Blackie held the esteemed position of Professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh from 1852 to 1882, where he left a lasting imprint on the classical curriculum. His prowess extended beyond academia into the realm of literature and philosophy, where he deeply engaged with moral and ethical issues of his time. One notable work, 'Four Phases of Morals: Socrates, Aristotle, Christianity, Utilitarianism,' epitomizes his scholarly endeavor to analyze the evolution of ethical thought through key historical and philosophical frameworks. In this text, Blackie deftly examines the teachings of ancient philosophers, juxtaposing them with Christian morality and the emerging theories of utilitarianism, thus contributing to the broader discourse on moral philosophy. His eloquence and rigorous scholarly methods were evident in this and other works, which continue to be referenced in discussions of moral theory and the history of ethical thought. Blackie died on March 2, 1895, but his intellectual legacy endures in the field of moral philosophy and classical studies.
