MOVING TO FRONT FROM AUGUST 25–UPDATED

Professor Sturgeon, who joined the Cornell faculty in 1967 and taught there until his retirement, was best-known for his naturalist moral realism and his contributions to the debate about "moral explanations" in the 1980s and 1990s.  I will add links to memorial notices when they appear.

ADDENDUM:  Philosopher John Doris, who was an undergraduate at Cornell and is now on the Cornell faculty, writes:  "Nick was incredibly generous to me when I was an undergraduate.  He was an extraordinary teacher not only of ethics, but also history, and his course on the Empiricists was a classic.  I can still see him, almost always in the same tan chamois shirt, sitting on a desk and lecturing, noteless, armed only with an impossibly battered copy of Locke's Essays."

UPDATE:  A memorial notice from Cornell.  (Thanks to Phil Gasper for the pointer.)
