Professor Lindsay Judson

I studied Classics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford as an undergraduate and then wrote a doctoral thesis in Philosophy, on necessity, chance and explanation in Aristotle.  I held college lecturerships at Pembroke, Jesus and Wadham, and have also taught at King's College London, the Open University, and Stanford University.  I held a Junior Research Fellowship at Christ Church 1984-7, and was appointed to an Official Studentship here in 1987.

I teach most of the Greek philosophy courses on the Oxford syllabus, as well as Ethics and Early Modern Philosophy.
