R.F. Holland was a philosopher who was a part of the "Swansea School" in the philosophy of religion which sought to interpret religion in light of the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

From 1981-2 he served as President of the Aristotelian Society[3], and also as President of the Mind Association.[4]

Holland edited the book series Studies in Philosophical Psychology.[5]
