She was a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Newcastle University and is known for her work on science, ethics and animal rights. She wrote her first book, Beast And Man 1. She has since written over 1. Animals And Why They Matter 1. Wickedness 1. 98. The Ethical Primate 1. Evolution as a Religion 1. Science as Salvation 1. She has been awarded honorary doctorates by Durham and Newcastle universities. Her autobiography, The Owl of Minerva, was published in 2. Midgley strongly opposes reductionism and scientism, and any attempts to make science a substitute for the humanitiesa role for which it is, she argues, wholly inadequate. She has written extensively about what philosophers can learn from nature, particularly from animals. A number of her books and articles have discussed philosophical ideas appearing in popular science, including those of Richard Dawkins. She has also written in favour of a moral interpretation of the Gaia hypothesis. The Guardian has described her as a fiercely combative philosopher and the UKs foremost scourge of scientific pretension. Early lifeeditMidgley was born in London to Lesley and Tom Scrutton. Her father was a curate in Dulwich, and later chaplain of Kings College, Cambridge. He was the son of the eminent judge Sir Thomas Edward Scrutton. She was raised in Cambridge, Greenford, and Ealing, and educated at Downe House School in Cold Ash, Berkshire originally based in Down House, the former home of Charles Darwin, where she developed her interest in classics and philosophy A new and vigorous Classics teacher offered to teach a few of us Greek, and that too was somehow slotted into our timetables. We loved this and worked madly at it, which meant that with considerable efforts on all sides, it was just possible for us to go to college on Classics I had decided to read Classics rather than English which was the first choice that occurred to me because my English teacher, bless her, pointed out that English literature is something that you read in any case, so it is better to study something that you otherwise wouldnt. Someone also told me that, if you did Classics at Oxford, you could do Philosophy as well. I knew very little about this but, as I had just found Plato, I couldnt resist trying it. She took the Oxford entrance exam in the autumn of 1. Somerville College. During the year before starting university, it was arranged that she would live in Austria for three months to learn German, but she had to leave after a month because of the worsening political situation. At Somerville she studied Mods and Greats alongside Iris Murdoch, graduating with first class honours. Several of her lasting friendships that began at Oxford were with scientists, and she credits them with having educated her in a number of scientific disciplines. After a split in the Labour club at Oxford over the Soviet Unions actions, she was on the committee of the newly formed Democratic Socialist Club alongside Tony Crosland and Roy Jenkins. She writes that her career in philosophy may have been affected by women having a greater voice in discussion at the time, because many male undergraduates left after a year to fight in the Second World War I think myself that this experience has something to do with the fact that Elizabeth Anscombe and I and Iris Murdoch and Philippa Foot and Mary Warnock have all made our names in philosophy. I do think that in normal times a lot of good female thinking is wasted because it simply doesnt get heard. Midgley left Oxford in 1. Instead, she spent the rest of the war doing various kinds of work that were held to be of national importance. During this time she was also a teacher at Downe School and Bedford School. She returned to Oxford in 1. Gilbert Murray. She began research on Plotinuss view of the soul, which she has described as so unfashionable and so vast that I never finished my thesis. In retrospect Midgley has written of her belief that she is lucky to have missed out in having a doctorate. She argues that one of the main flaws in doctoral training is that, while it shows you how to deal with difficult arguments, it does not help you to grasp the big questions that provide its context the background issues out of which the small problems arose. In 1. Midgley went to Reading University, teaching in the philosophy department there for four terms. Personal lifeeditIn 1. Geoffrey Midgley, also a philosopher. They moved to Newcastle, where Geoffrey got a job in the philosophy department of Newcastle University. Mary gave up teaching for a number of years whilst she had three sons Tom, David and Martin,1 before also getting a job in the philosophy department at Newcastle, where they were both much loved. Midgley taught there between 1. Geoffrey died in 1. PublishingeditDuring her time at Newcastle Midgley began studying ethology and this led to her first book, Beast and Man 1. I wrote no books until I was a good 5. Bunyi Sirine. Im jolly glad because I didnt know what I thought before then. Midgley was awarded an honorary D. Litt by Durham University in 1. Doctor of Civil Law by Newcastle University in 2. She is an honorary fellow of the Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences Research Centre at Newcastle University. Ideas and argumentseditViews on philosophy and religioneditMidgley argued that philosophy is like plumbing, something that nobody notices until it goes wrong. Then suddenly we become aware of some bad smells, and we have to take up the floorboards and look at the concepts of even the most ordinary piece of thinking. The great philosophers. Despite her upbringing, she did not embrace Christianity herself, because, she says, I couldnt make it work. I would try to pray and it didnt seem to get me anywhere so I stopped after a while. But I think its a perfectly sensible world view. She also argues that the worlds religions should not simply be ignored It turns out that the evils which have infested religion are not confined to it, but are ones that can accompany any successful human institution. Nor is it even clear that religion itself is something that the human race either can or should be cured of. Midgleys book Wickedness 1. But, Midgley argues that we need to understand the human capacity for wickedness, rather than blaming God for it. Midgley argues that evil arises from aspects of human nature, not from an external force. She further argues that evil is the absence of good, with good being described as the positive virtues such as generosity, courage and kindness. Therefore, evil is the absence of these characteristics, leading to selfishness, cowardice and similar. She therefore criticises existentialism and other schools of thought which promote the Rational Will as a free agent.
