Lovejoy, Arthur Oncken (1873–1963)| US philosopher who advocated identifying the implicit ideas of a period in history, and then subjecting them to logical analysis. One of his techniques was what he called philosophical semantics – the investigation of recurrent terms and phrases in the literature of a period. |
| Lovejoy taught for some 40 years at John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. His works include the classic study The Great Chain of Being 1936 (see chain of being), ‘Essays in the History of Ideas’ 1948, and Revolt against Dualism 1930. |
