Illingworth, whose books were translated into Chinese and Japanese, was perhaps the most widely influential British representative of a nineteenth-century current of thought which sought to establish a synthesis of characteristic themes of modern idealistic philosophy and Christian theism by focusing on the concept of the person. This tradition of more or less idealistic personalism in philosophy and theology, whose British branch was represented also by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison, J. Seth, H. Rashdall, C.C. J. Webb, W. R. Sorley and others, was first developed through the impulse of F. H. Jacobi's criticism of the pantheistic, atheistic and nihilistic consequences of Enlightenment rationalism, and subsequently through the main systems of post-Kantian idealism developed in Germany in the first years of the nineteenth century by Schelling, by some mainly ‘right-wing’ Hegelians, by the so-called ‘speculative theists’ and others. Although this current seems to have already, at least indirectly, inspired S. T. Coleridge's criticism of pantheism, on which Illingworth also drew, it was mainly in R. H. Lotze's form that it reached Britain, and provided intellectual guidance and inspiration for those who saw in British absolute idealism as well as in naturalism new threats to the status of the individual person, to the truths of religion and morality, and to freedom.Illingworth, J.R. (1902). Reason & Revelation: An Essay in Christian Apology. London: Macmillan and Co. Scales is married to the actor Timothy West, with whom she has two sons; the elder is actor and director Samuel West.
