Henry Calderwood

Rev Henry Calderwood FRSE LLD (10 May 1830, Peebles – 19 November 1897, Edinburgh) was a Scottish minister and philosopher.

He was born in Peebles on 10 May 1830, the son of William Calderwood, a corn merchant, and his wife Elizabeth Mitchell.

Beside the data of experience, the mind has pure activity of its own whereby it apprehends the fundamental realities of life and combat.

He wrote in addition A Handbook of Moral Philosophy, On the Relations of Mind and Brain, Science and Religion, The Evolution of Man's Place in Nature.

[4]Among his religious works the best-known is his Parables of Our Lord, and just before his death he finished a biography of David Hume in the Famous Scots Series.
