| Summary |
Edward Scribner Ames (1870-1958) was a minister in the Christian Church, a.k.a. Disciples of Christ. He served as a minister of the Hyde Park Christian Church from 1900 to 1940. Having received his undergraduate degree from Drake College, BD and two years toward a doctorate at Yale University, he completed a PhD in philosophy in 1895 with John Dewey as chair of the department of philosophy at the University of Chicago. After teaching at Butler College for three years, he returned to Hyde Park Church and became a part time teacher in philosophy at the University of Chicago. Eventually Ames taught more and more and became chair of the department. At the University of Chicago he also became the founder of Disciples Divinity House, for which he served as Dean until 1945. Ames is significant as a philosopher who adapted Christianity to the philosophy of pragmatism and the world of modern science |
