Joseph Rickaby
Joseph John Rickaby (1845-1932) was an English Jesuit priest and philosopher.
Life
He was born in 1845 in Everingham, York. He received his education at Stonyhurst College, and was ordained in 1877, one of the so-called Stonyhurst Philosophers,[1] a significant group for neo-scholasticism in England.[2] At the time he was at St Beuno's[disambiguation needed], he was on friendly terms with Gerard Manley Hopkins;[3] they were ordained on the same day.
His Moral Philosophy of 1901, in the Stonyhurst Philosophical Series,[4] gave a theological argument for the proposition that animal rights do not exist.[5]
He had some affiliation with Clarke's Hall in Worcester College, Oxford. He would deliver conferences to Catholic undergraduates of Oxford and Cambridge.[6][7] His work is quoted by C.E. Raven in his Science, Religion, and The Future (1943, p. 9).
