Stirling, JAMES HUTCHISON (b. 1820), metaphysician, was born at Glasgow and studied in the university of his native town. He is the most eminent of the older English or Scotch Hegelians, his Secret of Hegel (1865) being a masterly exposition of the system. Among his other works are a criticism of Sir William Hamilton (1865), an attack on Darwin and Huxley, entitled As Regards Protoplasm. (1869), and a Text-book to Kant (1881). His translation of Schwegler's History of Philosophy is a useful handbook.
