[SydPhil] Passing of Keith Campbell

[Kristie Miller]

Dear all,

Last night Keith Campbell passed away. Keith was a member of the department at Sydney for many years,  was the Challis professor from 1991 to 2002, taking over from David Armstrong and serving until Huw Price took over the position. Keith was a a leading figure in metaphysics, defending, inter alia, materialism and trope theory. Alongside David Armstrong and John Mackie, he put Australian philosophy on the map. He made a huge contribution to a wide range of areas, and in many ways changed the intellectual landscape that was metaphysics at the time. This is a very sad day for Australian philosophy in general, and for Sydney in particular. We extend our sympathies to Keith’s family.

Best

Kristie
