Philip Quinn Essays Published

A volume of essays in honor of our past colleague Philip Quinn has appeared with the University’s press.

The eminent contributors include, in addition to Weithman, Linda Zagzebski, Richard Foley, Eleonore Stump, Paul J. Griffiths, Robert Audi, and Sumner B. Twiss. Quinn was the John A.
