Enw'r crëwr
Hanes bywgraffyddol
Professor J. R. Jones, Swansea, was a prominent philosopher who provided the Welsh Language Society's struggles with a firm philosophical basis in the 1960s. He was born in Pwllheli in 1911 and educated at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and Balliol, Oxford. He was employed as a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, between 1937 and 1952, when he was appointed to the Chair of Philosophy at the University of Wales, Swansea - a post he held until his untimely death in 1970.

Ardal cynnwys a strwythur
Natur a chynnwys
The first and main accrual, made in 1977, comprising some twenty-one boxes and described elsewhere, reflects J. R. Jones' valuable contribution to nationalist and religious philosophy, and his wider contribution to the field of philosophy and his specific interest in the nature of the self. -- The first deposit is mainly in Welsh and the catalogue prepared at NLW is also in Welsh. It consists mainly of his publications, books, pamphlets and articles, together with his academic notes. The correspondence is scarce, no more than forty individual letters, but there is an extensive collection of newspaper cuttings containing annotations in his hand. -- The second group, described here, consists mainly of notes dating from his period as a student and as a lecturer. However, it does also include a small collection of offprints and other printed material, together with some personal possesions once belonging to Professor A. E. Heath. -- Despite the fact that the notebooks have been arranged into two series, notes taken as a student and notes used to deliver lectures, there is some evidence to suggest that the earlier notes were used at a later date to prepare lectures. Some notebooks belonging to the same series are split between the two accruals - attention has been drawn to this whenever possible.
