Patrick Geddes is one of Scotland's most remarkable thinkers of the
late-nineteenth century. 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. Key
Features: Explores Patrick Geddes Scottish intellectual background
in depth for the first time; Highlights Geddes's insistence on the
importance of arts to sciences and vice versa, and the
distinctively Scottish context of this approach; Considers the
interdisciplinary achievements of Geddes in Edinburgh, Dundee,
Paris, London and India; Pays 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.
