In Memoriam: Amélie Oksenberg Rorty (1932-2020)

MOVING TO FRONT FROM SEPTEMBER 19–UPDATED

Professor Rorty wrote very widely in moral psychology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of the emotions, and the history of philosopy (especially ancient).   She taught for a quarter-century at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and then later at Brandeis and Boston Universities, among other places.  I will add links to memorial notices when they appear.

(Thanks to Geoffrey Batt for the information.)

UPDATE:  An evocative memorial by Rachel Cohen, who teaches in the creative writing program here at the University of Chicago.  (Thanks to Aaron Garrett for the pointer.)
