Philip Quinn Essays Published
A volume of essays in honor of our past colleague Philip Quinn has appeared with the University’s press. Entitled Liberal Faith and edited by Paul Weithman, the papers reflect the wide range of Quinn’s many publications in the philosophy of religion, political philosophy, and core areas of analytic philosophy. 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. O’Brien Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame from 1986 until his death in 2004, prior to which he was the William Herbert Perry Faunce Professor at Brown University. Among his many honors and services, he was President of the Central Division of the APA (1994-1995) and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2003).
