His environmental and cultural message endures today, yet the distinctively Scottish context to his thinking has not been properly acknowledged. This book situates Geddes within his own intellectual background (described by George Davie as 'the democratic intellect') and explores the relevance of that background to Geddes's substantial national and international achievements across a truly impressive range of disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores Patrick Geddes Scottish intellectual background in depth for the first time;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights Geddes's insistence on the importance of arts to sciences and vice versa, and the distinctively Scottish context of this approach;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders the interdisciplinary achievements of Geddes in Edinburgh, Dundee, Paris, London and India;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePays particular attention to his leadership of the Celtic Revival both from a Scottish perspective and with respect to international links, in particular with Indian cultural revivalists such as Ananda Coomaraswamy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Murdo MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474454089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474454087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Murdo MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943039664383,"sku":"9781474454087","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_21c269c3-0bf8-4ff8-b804-1441ad21e528.jpg?v=1681495866","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patrick-geddess-intellectual-origins-murdo-macdonald-9781474454087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
