John Heil (philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology), a longtime faculty member at Davidson College, has accepted a senior offer from Washington University, St. Louis, with appointments in both the Philosophy Department and the well-known Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program. Heil is the second accomplished philosopher from Davidson to be hired away by a research university in recent years; not long ago, Alfred Mele (philosophy of mind and action, ancient philosophy) accepted an offer from Florida State University.
