Joseph John Rickaby, SJ (1845 – 1932) was an English Jesuit priest and philosopher.
Life
[edit]Rickaby 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, a significant group for neo-scholasticism in England,[1] along with Richard F. Clarke, Herbert Lucas, and his own brother, John Rickaby.[2] At the time he was at St Beuno's, he was on friendly terms with Gerard Manley Hopkins;[3] they were ordained on the same day.
He was affiliated with Clarke's Hall in Worcester College, Oxford. He would deliver conferences to Catholic undergraduates of Oxford and Cambridge.[4][5] His work is quoted by Charles E. Raven in Science, Religion, and The Future (1943, p. 9).
