From the Philos-L list comes news of the death of Susan Hurley. Prof. Alexander Bird writes:
I am very sorry to inform you of the death last night of Professor Susan Hurley. Susan had been suffering from cancer for some time and faced her illness with remarkable dignity. She continued to work until very recently, hosting an international conference at Bristol only five weeks ago. Colleagues here in Bristol and throughout the world will know what an inspiration she was to work with and that although her contribution to several and diverse fields of philosophy was already invaluable, she had much more to offer yet.
