Princeton Makes Bid for Philosopher Boghossian

The Department of Philosophy at Princeton University has voted an offer to Paul Boghossian (philosophy of language and mind) at New York University, who has played a key role in building up the NYU Department over the last decade.  The Princeton Department has also voted a senior offer to Alex Byrne (philosophy of mind, metaphysics) at MIT.  Both Professors Boghossian and Byrne took their PhDs at Princeton (in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively).
