Forster from Chicago to Bonn (but with some continuing ties to Chicago happily)

Michael Forster (Kant, 18th-, 19th-century and 20th-century German philosophy, ancient philosophy, Wittgenstein, philosophy of language, epistemology) at the University of Chicago has accepted the Humboldt Professorship and the Chair in Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Bonn, effective February 2013.  That's a major coup for Bonn, needless to say.  The good news for those of us here in Chicago is that Forster will continue to be here as a regular Visiting Professor of Philosophy for most of the Winter Quarter each year (he and I will also offer a joint seminar each Winter).
