▪ American philosopher
born Nov. 23, 1871, De Witt, Mich., U.S.

      American Idealist philosopher whose writings and teaching established the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, as one of the strongholds of Personalism.

      Flewelling studied at Boston University (Ph.D., 1909) with Bordon Parker Bowne, founder of Personalism in the United States. After moving to the University of Southern California in 1917, Flewelling founded (1920) The Personalist, an international review of philosophy, religion, and literature. The Person (1952), written after his retirement in 1945, contains a comprehensive exposition of his views.
