Joseph Rickaby

Joseph John Rickaby (20 November 1845 – 18 December 1932) was an English Jesuit priest and philosopher.

Life

He was born in 1845 in Everingham, York. He received his education at Stonyhurst College, and was ordained in 1877, one of the so-called Stonyhurst Philosophers, along with Richard F. Clarke, Herbert Lucas, and his own brother, John Rickaby.[1] a significant group for neo-scholasticism in England.[2] At the time he was at St Beuno's, he was on friendly terms with Gerard Manley Hopkins;[3] they were ordained on the same day.

He was affiliated with Clarke's Hall in Worcester College, Oxford. He would deliver conferences to Catholic undergraduates of Oxford and Cambridge.[4][5] After 1926 Rickaby retired to St. Bueno's College. His last work was a translation of Alphonsus Rodriguez's Ejercicio de Perfección y Virtudes Cristianas. Between 1870 and 1930 he published 60 articles in the Month and wrote nearly 30 books.
