Hastings Rashdall

About the Author

Hastings Rashdall (1858-1924) was an English philosopher and champion of the theory of ideal utilitarianism, which honored the totality of life experience over its constituent parts. A fellow of New College, Oxford, he was also president of the Aristotelian Society and among the first members of the Christian Social Union. He wrote The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages (1895), The Theory of Good and Evil (1907), and The Idea of Atonement in Christian Theology (1919), among other works.
