A well-known political philosopher, he was emeritus at the University of Vermont. Larry Solum (Georgetown) has a bit more.
UPDATE: Philosopher Don Loeb at Vermont gave me permission to share the message he sent to his colleagues about Prof. Wertheimer's passing:
I am sorry to have such sad news to relay. Our beloved friend and colleague, and one of the most honest and fearless philosophers I have ever known, Alan Wertheimer, died this afternoon at 4 PM. He was surrounded by his family and not in pain.
ANOTHER: Philosopher Jerry Dworkin sends along this interview with Wertheimer.
