Seven philosophers elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences

They are:  Robert Audi (Notre Dame), Bernard Boxill (North Carolina), Robert Gooding-Williams (Columbia), Patricia Kitcher (Columbia), and (as Corresponding Fellows) Jennifer Hornsby (Birbeck College, University of London) and Lilli Alanen (Uppsala).

This year, the philosophers on the committee that ultimately chose the new members (after a vote of the membership, though that is non-binding) were Robert Adams, Elizabeth Anderson, Julia Annas, Helen Longino, Alexander Nehamas, and Susan Wolf.

UPDATE:  Philosopher Debra Satz (Stanford) was also elected as an "interclass" candidate for membership in the Academy.

ANOTHER:  I just noticed that the distinguished classicist Malcolm Schofield, Professor of Ancient Philosophy Emeritus at Cambridge, was also elected as an "intersectional" candidate (probably in some mix of philosophy, history and philology).
