Nicholas Wolterstorff joins philosophy department as scholar in residence, Fall 2006.
	Nicholas Wolterstorff received his BA from Calvin College in 1953 and his PhD in philosophy from Harvard University in 1956. Before taking up his current position as a scholar in residence at the University of Virginia he was Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale. Prior to that he taught for two years at Yale, and for thirty years at his alma mater, Calvin College. After concentrating on metaphysics at the beginning of his career (ON UNIVERSALS), he worked primarily on aesthetics and philosophy of art (WORKS AND WORLDS OF ART, and ART IN ACTION). In more recent years, he has been concentrating on epistemology (JOHN LOCKE AND THE ETHICS OF BELIEF, and the just published, THOMAS REID AND THE STORY OF EPISTEMOLOGY), on philosophy of religion (DIVINE DISCOURSE, and, with Alvin Plantinga, FAITH AND RATIONALITY), and political philosophy (UNTIL JUSTICE AND PEACE EMBRACE, and, with Robert Audi, RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE). In the fall of 1993 he gave the Wilde Lectures at Oxford University (published as DIVINE DISCOURSE), and in the spring of 1995 he gave the Gifford Lectures at St Andrews University (part of which is now published as THOMAS REID AND THE STORY OF EPISTEMOLOGY). He has been president of the American Philosophical Association (Central Division), and of the Society of Christian Philosophers. He has regularly taught lecture courses in philosophy of religion and aesthetics, and seminars in epistemology, hermeneutics, and philosophy of religion. The Corcoran Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia welcomes professor Wolterstorff. [Professor Wolterstorff's homepage]
