Christine M. Korsgaard

I am Arthur Kingsley Porter Research Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University, where I taught from 1991 until 2020. From July 1996 through June 2002, I was Chair of the Department of Philosophy. (The current chair is Bernhard Nickel). From 2004-2012, I was Director of Graduate Studies in Philosophy. (The current DGS is Mark Richard.) Before coming here, I held positions at Yale, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Chicago, as well as visiting positions at Berkeley and UCLA. I retired from teaching in June 2020. I served as President of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association in 2008-2009, and held a Mellon Distinguished Achievement Award from 2006-2009. I work on moral philosophy and its history, practical reason, the nature of agency, personal identity, normativity, and the ethical relations between human beings and the other animals.
