ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Simon Blackburn

Simon Blackburn (born 1944) is an English philosopher, a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge University, a Research Fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Professor at New College of the Humanities in London. Author of more than ten books on philosophy and numerous articles and reviews, he has distinguished himself in the field of metaethics by defending quasi-realism, a position inspired by Hume that seeks to maintain the objectivity of moral judgments while rejecting the existence of a mysterious realm of moral realities. Some of his most popular books have been a well-deserved success in Portugal, and Gradiva is proud to have published his Dictionary of Philosophy (1997) and Think (2001).
