Nicholas Phillipson
was an undergraduate at Aberdeen and Cambridge Universities and graduated with a PhD from Cambridge in 1967. He was appointed Lecturer in History at Edinburgh in 1965 and was subsequently appointed Senior Lecturer and Reader. He retired from full-time employment in 2004 and was appointed Honorary Research Fellow. He has held visiting appointments at Princeton, Yale, Tulsa , the Folger Library , Washington DC and the Ludwigs-Maximilian Universitat, Munich .
Peter Millican
is a British philosopher and prominent scholar of David Hume. Millican is currently teaching at Hertford College, Oxford University in the United Kingdom. His primary interests include the philosophy of David Hume, philosophy of religion, philosophy of language, and epistemology. Millican is particularly well known for his work on David Hume, emphasising the importance of Hume's later work, and defending a broadly traditional interpretation against influential revisionary trends (e.g. non-sceptical readings of Hume on induction, and the "New Hume" Causal realist interpretation). Since 2005 he has been Co-Editor of the journal Hume Studies. Millican is also an International Correspondence Chess Grandmaster, and has a strong interest in the field of Computing and its links with Philosophy. Recently he has developed a new degree programme at Oxford University, in Computer Science and Philosophy, due to accept its first students in 2012. Millican's expertise in computational analysis of language was relevant in the Bill Ayers presidential election controversy concerning the authorship of Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father.
