NETTLESHIP (1846-1892)  , English philosopher, youngest brother of Henry Nettleship, was born on the 17th of December 1846, and educated at Uppingham and Balliol College, Oxford, where he held a scholarship . He won the Hertford scholarship, the Ireland, the Gaisford Greek verse prize, a Craven scholarship and the Arnold prize, but took only a second class in Litterae Humaniores . He became fellow and tutor of his college and succeeded to the work of T . H . Green, whose writings he edited with a memoir (London, 188o) . He left an unfinished work on Plato, part of which was published after his death, together with his lectures on logic and some essays . His thought was idealistic and Hegelian . His literary style was excellent; but, though he had considerable personal influence on his generation at Oxford, a certain nebulousness of view prevented his making any permanent contribution to philosophy . He was fond of music and outdoor sports, and rowed in his college boat . He died on the 25th of August 1892, from the effects of exposure on Mont Blanc, and was buried at . Chamounix .
