MOVING TO FRONT FROM JANUARY 20–UPDATED

I was quite sorry to learn, via Martin Kusch, of the passing of Professor Gutting, a longtime member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, where he was emeritus.  He was, of course, best-known for his excellent work on Foucault, as well as on French philosophy of the 20th-century more generally, although his philosophical interests and publications ranged widely and across traditions.  In addition, he founded and edited with great integrity and care Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, which has become the most important source for book reviews in academic philosophy.  He had recently agreed to write the volume on Foucault for my Routledge Philosophers series, which was about to go under contract.   You can find out a bit more about his work here.  I will add links to memorial notices as they appear.

UPDATE:  An announcement has gone out to the editorial board of NDPR (of which I am a member) from Professor Gutting's widow, who has also been co-editor of NDPR in recent years:

I am sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but I need to let you know that late on Friday evening Gary passed away. The end came much faster than anyone had expected but was peaceful, and he was surrounded by his family.

There will be a memorial service at the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame, and I will forward further details as soon as they are available.

In the circumstances, I have decided to suspend publication of reviews for a minimum of one month.

I will post details of the memorial service when they are available.

ANOTHER:  A remembrance by philosopher John Schwenkler (Florida State) at Commonweal.

AND MORE:  A remembrance from the editor at the NYT who worked with him.  (Thanks to Paul Weithman for the pointer.)

IN ADDITION:  Notre Dame's memorial notice.
