MOVING TO FRONT, ORIGINALLY POSTED SEPTEMBER 6--UPDATE
Professor Shoemaker, who spent almost his entire career at Cornell University, was a leading figure in metaphysics and philosophy of mind, who trained many well-known philosophers including Richard Moran (Harvard), Susanna Siegel (Harvard), and Alan Sidelle (Wisconsin), among others. I will add links to memorial notices as they appear. Comments are open for remembrances from those who knew Professor Shoemaker.
(Thanks to Brian Ogilvie for the information.)
UPDATE: Comments are now open, my apologies.
ANOTHER UPDATE: The Cornell Department's memorial notice is here, and the University's memorial notice here. (Thanks to Carl Ginet for the pointer.)
