Philosophers Langton & Holton moving from Edinburgh to MIT

Rae Langton (Kant, feminist philosophy, moral and political philosophy, metaphysics), the Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, and Richard Holton (ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of action, philosophy of language, philosophy of law), also at Edinburgh, have accepted senior offers from MIT. That's a setback for Edinburgh, which recently lured Andy Clark from Indiana/Bloomington to the Chair in Logic and Metaphysics. It's also, of course, a significant addition for the small, but strong MIT Department and, among many other things, will make MIT the leading center of feminist philosophy in the United States (Langton will join Sally Haslanger at MIT).
