​I am currently an assistant professor in philosophy at Stanford University. This summer, I'll join the philosophy department at The University of Edinburgh as a  senior lecturer. 

My primary interests are in ethics and political philosophy. I am working towards a systematic ethical approach based on the requirement to care about one another. This approach has substantive implications in normative ethics, political philosophy, and the ethics of economics, while also providing a basis on which to reconsider this traditional differentiation of domains.    

I grew up in Glasgow in Sunny Scotland. These days, I live in Palo Alto with my partner and our two young children. 

You are warmly invited to send me questions or comments on anything about my areas of research, teaching, PPE, or public philosophy - especially if you are a student interested in or working on related issues. My email address is barry dot maguire at stanford dot edu.

A recent C.V. is available here.
