[2] Pringle-Pattison received the degree Doctor of Civil Law (DCL) honoris causa from the University of Durham in June 1902.

The couple had two daughters and three sons[4] He is buried with his wife and family in Morningside Cemetery, Edinburgh against the south wall towards the south-west.

Seth's comments here stand in stark contrast to the British and American Hegelianism of the turn of the 20th century.

[6] It was F. H. Bradley's and Josiah Royce's primary contention that the Self is permeable to all manner of imitation, and that the self as Seth describes is a harmful fiction.

At the heart of Seth's analysis was a defence of the necessity of anthropomorphism, John Ruskin's "pathetic fallacy."

"[7] Personality, the true a priori, stands walled off against external phenomenon either in terms of the Absolute, or from the influx of sensation.
