Stephen Ingram

I am a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Manchester

I am the Programme Director for BA Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.

I did my PhD at the Sheffield, supervised by Jimmy Lenman and Miranda Fricker.

Before that, I studied philosophy at Durham.

I like moral philosophy. I have published a book defending 'robust' moral realism.

I am currently thinking and writing about...

• ... the subject matter of morality;
• ... Rossian moral theory;
• ... the aims and norms of education.

I also like thinking about other areas of philosophy, such as...

• ... metaphysics;
• ... epistemology;
• ... metaphilosophy;
• ... philosophy of mind.
