Alfred Edward Taylor was a British idealist philosopher. He was born in 1869, the son of a Wesleyan minister. Among many distinguished appointments, he held the chair of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh from 1924 to 1941. His main interests were Platonic philosophy and the theology of Christianity, and his contributions in both these fields have been of far-reaching importance. "Does God Exist?" was his last considerable work on the philosophy of religion before his death in 1945. ...more

Quotes by A.E. Taylor (?)

“It is not true that faith, as a Victorian poet said, "puts out the eye of light"; without it there would be no light at all, not even the "dry light" of the sciences themselves: nothing venture, nothing have.”
― A.E. Taylor, Does God Exist?

“The soul is itself the very principle of life, and produces life everywhere where it is present. Life is thus an essential attribute of soul. Consequently death, the opposite of life, can never be truly predicated of that which is the principle of life itself. A dead soul would be a contradiction in terms. The soul, therefore, is deathless, and it is an easy inference that what can survive death is absolutely indestructible." - A.E. Taylor, On Plato's Phaedo”

“Plato has done his best to make it quite clear that he took no great interest in "system making." To him philosophy meant no compact body of "results" to be learned, but a life spent in the active personal pursuit of truth and goodness by the light of one or two great passionate convictions.”
― A.E. Taylor, Plato: The Man and His Work
