Setiya to Remain at Pittsburgh

Kieran Setiya (ethics), Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, has turned down a tenured offer from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin.  Pittsburgh has recently warded off several attempted raids on its "value theory" faculty: Stephen Engstrom (Kant, ethics) and Michael Thompson (ethics, political philosophy, action theory) were retained in the face of offers from the University of Chicago.
