  • George Campbell (December 25 1719 – April 6 1796) was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, minister, theologian, and professor of divinity. Campbell had three focuses to his intellectual life: language, theology, and rhetoric. He was primarily interested in rhetoric since he believed that the study of rhetoric would enable his students to become better preachers. Consequently, he became a philosopher of rhetoric because he understood that the philosophical changes brought by the Enlightenment would have serious implications for rhetoric. (en)

  • George Campbell (25. joulukuuta 1719 Aberdeen, Skotlanti – 6. huhtikuuta 1796) oli skotlantilainen valistusfilosofi, teologi, pappi ja Marischal Collegen teologian professori vuosina 1770–1795. Campbellilla oli kolme erityistä kiinnostuksen kohdetta: kieli, teologia ja retoriikka. Viimeksi mainitusta hän oli kiinnostunut, koska hän uskoi sen tekevän hänen oppilaistaan parempia saarnaajia. Samasta syystä hänestä tuli retoriikan filosofi: hän ymmärsi, että valistuksen tuomat filosofiset muutokset vaikuttaisivat myös retoriikkaan suuresti. Campbell sai vaikutteita mm. John Lockelta, Thomas Reidin common sense -filosofiasta, Francis Baconilta, David Humelta, Quintilianukselta ja Augustinukselta. (fi)
