Draft:Kelley Ross


Kelley Ross (born October 4, 1949) is an American philosopher in the Friesian tradition and proprietor of the philosophy website Friesian.com.[1]. As such he advocates an epistemological tradition that began in the post-Kantian era with philosopher Jakob Fries (1773-1843) and enjoyed a revival in the early 20th century under Leonard Nelson (1882-1927). While Nelson's acolytes went on to abandon uniquely Friesian principles, notably the theory of non-intuitive immediate knowledge[2], Ross has hewn closer to the fountainheads of the tradition. Ross casts the Friesian theory as one of the few in the history of philosophy that can be compared to Platonic recollection[3]. He has even gone so far as to explain "Why I Am a Platonist"[4] and to make good on Plato's own unfulfilled promise to deliver "A Lecture on the Good" which he presented to the round table, "Perspectives on Ethical Sentiments," at Oxford University's Hertford College on March 25, 2010[5]
