The world is very young,
​and has but just begun
to cast off injustice. 

Harriet Taylor Mill

​I am a Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at The University of Edinburgh. I have previously taught at Stanford University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and New York University. I grew up in Glasgow (pictured). Nowadays, I live in Garvald, in East Lothian, with my partner and our two young children. 

I am currently working towards an ethical theory inspired by the early Marx, based on the principle that we ought to care about one another. This approach aims to integrate standards of justification in the ethics of economics, political philosophy, and moral philosophy.

You are welcome to send questions or comments on anything about my areas of research, teaching, PPE, or public philosophy - especially if you are a student interested in related issues. Please accept my apologies if my reply rate is slower than usual. My email address is bmaguire at ed dot ac dot uk. A recent C.V. is available here.
