His work influenced but was later subject to criticism by many thinkers, notably Bertrand Russell, John Dewey and William James. He was strongly influenced by the ancient Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, but also by the German philosophers Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The relation of the finite individual to the whole state in which he or she lives was investigated in Bosanquet's Philosophical Theory of the State (London, 1899). The relationship between the individual and society was summarised in Bosanquet's preface to The Introduction to Hegel's Philosophy of Fine Art (1886): The Introduction to Hegel's Philosophy of Fine Art translated and edited (1886) ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9578.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9578.txt
