J. Lewis (James Lewis) McIntyre

Born in Edinburgh in 1868, James Lewis McIntyre studied first at the University of Edinburgh and then at University College, Oxford. Reference sources describe him as a Scottish psychologist, and note that he died in Aberdeen on January 29, 1929.

McIntyre wrote on philosophy as well as psychology, with Giordano Bruno (1903) standing out as his best-known book. That work remains the title most commonly linked with his name in library and public-domain catalogs, which suggests the kind of audience he reached: readers curious about the history of ideas, religion, and modern thought.

He was also connected with the University of Aberdeen, where memorial records describe him as a psychologist for many years. Even in a brief bibliography, he comes across as a scholar who liked making demanding subjects readable and worthwhile for non-specialists.
