John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart 1866-1925, British philosopher. A student of G. W. Hegel, by whom he was strongly influenced, he taught at Trinity College, Cambridge (1897-1923). Believing that the ultimate reality was spiritual, he denied the real existence of the material, of space, and of time. He was also a determinist but held that determinism was not incompatible with moral obligation. His writings included Some Dogmas of Religion (1906), A Commentary On Hegel's Logic (1910), and his great work The Nature of Existence (2 vol., 1921-27).
