Hamilton, William (1788-1856)

Scottish philosopher. His influence was felt strongly in Scotland, Germany and France. Hamilton was professor of history (1821), and of logic and metaphysics (1836) at Edinburgh.

He was born in Glasgow and was educated at Balliol College, Oxford. He was called to the Scottish Bar (1813), but devoted all his time to study and research. In 1829 he began his literary career with a criticism of Cousin's Cours de philosophie, entitled ‘Philosophy of the Unconditioned’, in the Edinburgh Review.
