James Hayden Tufts

James Hayden Tufts

James Hayden Tufts (1862-1942), an influential American philosopher, was a professor of the then newly founded Chicago University. Tufts was also a member of the Board of Arbitration, and the chairman of a committee of the social agencies of Chicago. The work "Ethics" in 1917 was a collaboration of Tufts and John Dewey. Tufts believed in a conception of mutual influences which he saw as opposed in both Marxism & idealism.

Tufts was a 1884 graduate of Amherst College; received a B.D. from Yale University in 1889, an M.A. from Amherst College in 1890, and his Ph.D. from Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat in Freiberg under Alois Riehle in 1892. With John Dewey and George Herbert Mead (both of whom Tufts was instrumental in bringing to the University), Tufts was a co-founder of the Chicago School of Pragmatism. Tufts was a longstanding chairman of the Department of Philosophy and at one time was the acting president of Chicago University.
