Philosopher, born in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. He studied in Germany, then earned a doctorate from Cornell University (1892) and joined the faculty of Cornell's new Sage School of Philosophy (18891924). He was also co-editor and (from 1902) editor of the new Philosophical Review, American editor of Kant-Studien (from 1896), and a co-founder and first president (19023) of the American Philosophical Association. His own philosophy was idealistic, and a volume of his essays appeared posthumously (1925).
James Edwin Creighton (Apr. 8, 1861, Pictou, Nova Scotia - Ithaca, NY, Oct. 8, 1924), was an American philosopher who believed no system of thought can be the product on an isolated mind.
He was early influenced by Kant, Bradley and Bosanquet, and later accepted some of the views of Windelband and Rickert, without sharing all of their opinions.
