Cornell is very pleased that “Tad Brennan”:http://www.philosophy.northwestern.edu/people/brennan.html has accepted an offer to join the Sage School. Cornell obviously has a great tradition in ancient philosophy, and Tad continues the excellent tradition. He recently published a book on the Stoics, but has written on historical figures from the preSocratics to the so-called “late Platonists” through the 6th Century.

This just about completes a very active hiring season for Cornell. Depending on just when everyone starts, we’ll soon be welcoming Derk Pereboom, Karen Bennett and Tad Brennan as senior appointments, Erin Taylor as an assistant professor, and Wylie Breckenridge as a post-doc. We may have more news to announce yet too. So it’s an exciting time up here.
