Robert Adamson

From Philosopedia

Adamson, Robert (19 January 1852 - 8 February 1902)

Described by the Cambridge History of Modern Literature as being “the most learned of contemporary philosophers,” Adamson was an outspoken agnostic and a utilitarian in ethics. In his Ethical Democracy (1900), Adamson wrote that even the most pretentious proofs of the existence of God are “intellectually unrepresentable” and that “the world conquered Christianity” instead of the other way about.
