Richard Baron Philosophy     About me Writings Societies Resources   About me I studied philosophy at the University of Cambridge in the late 1970s. I then worked as a tax adviser while continuing my philosophical work. Now I pursue research in philosophy and teach the subject at adult education centres. I also continue to advise on tax policy part-time. I live in London. I am always happy to engage in discussion with other philosophers and to give talks on philosophical topics.
