In Memoriam: Isaac Levi (1930-2018)

MOVING TO FRONT FROM DECEMBER 27–UPDATED

Professor Levi, a leading figure in decision theory and epistemology, was emeritus at Columbia University, where he had taught since 1970.  He passed away on December 25.   He earned his PhD at Columbia and taught at Case Western Reserve University, before returning to his alma mater.  I will add links to memorial notices when they appear.

(Thanks to Charles Parsons for the information.)

UPDATE:  A brief obituary at the NYT.  (Thanks to David Rosenthal for the pointer.)

ANOTHER:  A brief memorial notice from the Columbia Department, with a longer one promised in the January Journal of Philosophy.
