Richard Moran

I have taught at Harvard since 1995 where I am the Brian D. Young Professor of Philosophy.  I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cornell University in 1989, and taught at Princeton University from 1989 to 1995.  

I am the author of Authority and Estrangement:  An essay on self-knowledge (Princeton, 2001), The Exchange of Words:  Speech, Testimony, and Intersubjectivity (Oxford 2018), and The Philosophical Imagination (Oxford 2017), a collection of essays in philosophy of mind and action, aesthetics, metaphor, moral psychology, and narrative as a form of self-understanding.  I’m working on a book on Marcel Proust.
