Robert Maximilian de Gaynesford (born 2 January 1968) is an English philosopher. He is Professor of Philosophy and Head of Department at the University of Reading and author of The Rift In The Lute (2017).[1]
Education and career[edit]
De Gaynesford was educated at Ampleforth College and Balliol College, Oxford (1986–9; First in Modern History), after which he spent several years studying Theology, before turning to Philosophy in 1993. Shortly before receiving his doctorate, he was elected Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Lincoln College, Oxford (1997). He was subsequently Humboldt Research Fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin (2003) and a tenured professor at The College of William and Mary in Virginia (2002–2006)[2] before becoming Professor of Philosophy (2008) and Head of Department (2016) at the University of Reading.[3] He is the author of four books: The Rift in the Lute: Attuning Poetry and Philosophy (Oxford, 2017), I: The Meaning of the First Person Term (Oxford, 2006), Hilary Putnam (Routledge, 2006), and John McDowell (Polity, 2004).[4] Beginning with a paper in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society[5] as a graduate student, he has written over forty articles on a wide range of topics in philosophy and a wider set of book reviews covering works of fiction.[6] In 2011, he edited a collection of articles on the Philosophy of Action, Agents And Their Actions (Blackwell), which includes recent work by John McDowell and Joseph Raz. He spoke at the Harvard Conference in celebration of Hilary Putnam in 2011. He often gives papers on attuning poetry and philosophy for general audiences; in 2015, for example, he gave a public talk at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford on 'Why Philosophy and Poetry Matter'.[7] In 2017, he took part in a short filmed conversation about Philosophy and Film with Lenny Abrahamson and Francine Stock. Their subsequent extended public discussion was recorded as a podcast.[8] He is also interested in moral psychology and the interface with philosophy of law, where he unearths a particular type of defence that he calls 'justifexcuses'.[9]
