  • John Anderson (1 November 1893 – 6 July 1962) was a Scottish-born Australian philosopher who occupied the post of Challis Professor of Philosophy at Sydney University in the years 1927-1958. He founded the empirical brand of philosophy known as 'Sydney realism'. His promotion of 'free thought' in all subjects, including politics and morality, was controversial and brought him into constant conflict with the august senate of the university. However, he is credited with educating a generation of influential 'Andersonian' thinkers and activists—some of whom helped to place Sydney in the forefront of the worldwide 'sexual revolution' of the 1950s and 1960s. To Anderson, an acceptable philosophy must have significant 'sweep' and be capable of challenging and moulding ideas in every aspect of intellect and society.
  • John Anderson oli skottilaissyntyinen australialainen filosofi, joka toimi Sydneyn yliopiston Challis-oppituolin filosofian professorina vuosina 1927–1958. Hän perusti empiirisen filosofisen suuntauksen nimeltä ”Sydneyn realismi”. Anderson toimi Australian kommunistisessa puolueessa. Hän kannatti täydellistä ”ajattelunvapautta” joka suhteessa, mukaan lukien politiikassa ja etiikassa. Osa hänen ajatuksistaan herätti kiistelyä, ja hän oli usein riidoissa yliopiston hallinnon kanssa. Andersonilla oli kuitenkin suuri rooli 1950- ja 1960-luvun ”andersonilaisen” ajattelija- ja aktivistisukupolven kouluttamisessa. Andersonilta ovat saaneet vaikutteita muun muassa John Passmore, David Armstrong, David Stove, J. L. Mackie ja Eugene Kamenka.
