Robert Maximilian de Gaynesford (born 2 January 1968) is a British philosopher and professor of philosophy at the University of Reading.[1]
Education and career
De Gaynesford attended Ampleforth College and Balliol College, Oxford (1986–1989; First in Modern History), after which he spent several years studying theology before turning to philosophy in 1993. Lincoln College, Oxford elected him fellow and tutor in philosophy in 1997, shortly before he received his doctorate. He was subsequently a Humboldt Research Fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin (2003) and a tenured professor at The College of William and Mary in Virginia (2002–2006),[2] before becoming professor of philosophy (2008) and head of department (2016) at the University of Reading.[3]
He has published over forty articles and five books on topics in the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and epistemology. His other research interests include moral psychology and the philosophy of law, where he has written on a category of defence he terms "justifexcuses".[4]
