Hastings Rashdall was born on June 24, 1858, in London, United Kingdom, to parents Charles Rashdall and Caroline Sophia Rashdall. He became an influential English philosopher, Anglican priest, theologian, and historian. Educated at Harrow School and later at New College, Oxford, Rashdall made significant contributions to moral philosophy and religious thought. He is best known for developing ideal utilitarianism, a refined ethical theory that combines the utilitarian focus on outcomes with a deeper idealist commitment to moral value. He emphasized personal idealism, arguing that spiritual and moral realities are fundamental, and also supported theistic finitism, proposing that God is limited in some respects. In addition to his philosophical work, he was a respected historian of medieval education, with important studies on European universities. Influenced by thinkers such as Henry Sidgwick, T. H. Green, and J. B. Lightfoot, Rashdall sought to bridge rational analysis with spiritual understanding. His major work, The Theory of Good and Evil, published in 1907, remains a key text in ethical philosophy. He died in Worthing on February 9, 1924.
