- Donald_M._MacKinnon abstract "Donald Mackenzie MacKinnon (27 August 1913 – 2 March 1994) was a Scottish philosopher and theologian. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, and held academic appointments in Oxbridge and Scotland - including Regius Professor of Moral Philosophy at Aberdeen University (1947–60) and Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University (1960–78). MacKinnon delivered the Gifford Lectures in 1965 and 1966 on ‘The Problem of Metaphysics’. A revised version of the lectures was published under the same name in 1974. He was a Scottish Episcopalian and married to Lois Dryer.MacKinnon is noted for his contributions to philosophical theology. He is particularly noted for the depth of analysis he applied to intractable theological problems, not least the refusal to simplify difficult questions in order to produce tidy or conclusive answers. His insistence on truth over tidiness is evident in his method of thought, an approach which some have labelled ‘open-textured’. The label derives from MacKinnon's use of literary, artistic, and political sources in his work - modes of enquiry which operate in contrast to the systematic and epistemologically narrow approach of some theology and philosophy.The intensity of MacKinnon's thought was matched by his lecturing style, which was marked by 'his dangerously strong charisma, his ability to terrify adversaries'. Some former students admit to 'spending more time mimicking him than following his arguments about Kant or Hegel'. At Aberdeen he was notorious among the students for talking to the ivy on the walls of King's College.[citation needed] Others have expressed deep indebtedness and admiration for his input into their intellectual development, perhaps most notably Rowan Williams and Iris Murdoch. His influential input into important and relatively widely read thinkers' work, such as Williams and Murdoch, would suggest that MacKinnon’s contribution to theology and philosophy is most strongly felt through the subsequent work of his students. By contrast, MacKinnon did not publish extensively, and that which he did publish is largely in short essay form and out of print.".
