{"product_id":"james-frederick-ferrier","title":"James Frederick Ferrier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains selections from the philosophical writings of James Frederick Ferrier (1808-1864). Ferrier was the Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of St Andrews between 1845 and 1864 and he was one of the earliest post-Hegelian British idealists. He develops a system of absolute idealism via a rejection of the Scottish school of common sense and Enlightenment philosophy in general. These selections focus on his primary philosophical interests: epistemology and ontology. Ferrier denies the possibility of a science of man and suggests that philosophy should focus on self-consciousness, the defining feature of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57593974784373,"sku":"9781845402433","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781845402433.jpg?v=1790001485","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/james-frederick-ferrier","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
