In Memoriam: Ian Mueller (1938-2010)

Brian Leiter

MOVING TO FRONT FROM AUGUST 11

Professor Mueller, a distinguished scholar of ancient Greek philosophy, science, and mathematics, passed away suddenly last Friday.   A professor emeritus here at the University of Chicago, he taught in the Department of Philosophy for more than thirty years.  I will link to memorial notices as soon as they appear.

UPDATE: A remembrance from a former student, Eric Schliesser.

ANOTHER:  The University of Chicago memorial notice.

AGAIN:  The University of Chicago has created a memorial page for friends, colleagues, and students to record their thoughts and memorie about Professor Mueller.
