Holton, Langton from MIT to Cambridge

Richard Holton (ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of action, philosophy of law) and Rae Langton (Kant, ethics, political philosophy, metaphysics, feminist philosophy), both Professors of Philosophy at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, have accepted Professorships at Cambridge University, effective September 1.  That is a major hiring coup for Cambridge, and coming on the heels of recent Professorial appointments of Tim Crane and Huw Price, as well as a number of junior appointments, probably puts Cambridge Philosophy in its strongest position in several decades.
