In
2004 the SPC Centenary Fellows were Professor Keith
DeRose, from Yale University, and Professor John
Greco, from Fordham University. Both fellows were resident in
the Philosophy Department at the University of Stirling during their
visits. Professors DeRose and Greco are two of the foremost epistemologists
working today, and each of them has built their reputation by proposing
and defending a distinctive position in the theory of knowledge.
In the case of Professor DeRose, this has involved his work on epistemological
contextualism, whilst in the case of the Professor Greco, this has
meant his development of virtue epistemology.
In
2003 the SPC Centenary Fellows were:
Professor
Carlo Natali, University of Venice, working on Aristotle's Ethics
at the Department of Philosophy, University of Edinburgh.
Dr Cristina Viano, Senior Research Fellow at the CNRS, working on the elements in Aristotle's physics, medieval Alchemy at the Department of Philosophy, University of Edinburgh.
Dr

at the Department of Philosophy, University of Edinburgh.
In 2002 the
SPC Centenary fellows were Sally
Haslanger and Stephen
Yablo, who spent August 2002 in St. Andrews.
In
2001 the SPC Centenary fellow was Professor Knud
Haakonssen of Boston University, who spent April and May
2001 based at the Reid Project in Aberdeen; he also visited other
Scottish departments, and gave a paper at the Club's centenary meting
in Dundee on 18 May 2001. Professor Haakonssen is a distinguished
historian of Scottish philosophy, whose books include The Science
of a Legislator: the Natural Jurisprudence of David Hume and Adam
Smith (CUP 1981), and Natural Law and Moral Philosophy:
from Grotius to the Scottish Enlightenment (CUP 1996); he
edited The Cambridge Companion to Adam Smith , and is also
General Editor of the Edinburgh Edition of Thomas Reid and of The
Works and Correspondence of Frances Hutcheson (Liberty Press).
His expertise in the history of Scottish philosophy, and his international
reputation, make him an ideal holder of the first Centenary Fellowship.
