When not doing philosophy he writes poems and climbs mountains, sometimes simultaneously.

Han Kyul-Kim

  • Han Kyul-Kim is Visiting Professor at Temple University. His current research interests include a project that explores Locke's philosophy of mind and body in terms of his distinction between nominal and real essence, and examines the relevance of his views to contemporary issues and debates.

Stephen Hetherington

  • Stephen Hetherington is Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. He is the author of Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge (Oxford University Press, 2001) and Self-Knowledge (Broadview, 2007), among other books.

Christopher Miles Coope

  • Christopher Miles Coope is the author of ‘Death Sentences’. Philosophy, January 2006. His book, Worth and Welfare in the Abortion Controversy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006), seeks to make limited but definite progress by narrowing the options available. His recent article ‘Modern Virtue Ethics’ (in Values and Virtues: Aristotelianism in Contemporary Ethics, Oxford University Press, 2006) argues that the virtues approach to moral philosophy went into steep decline almost from the outset. His forthcoming Royal Institute of Philosophy lecture, ‘The Doctor of Philosophy Will See You Now’ suggests that the prospects for ‘applied’ philosophy are not at all good.

In 2002–4 he was Stanton Lecturer in the Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge University. In 2007 he was elected President of the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion.
