At Oxford, she studied at St. Hilda's College, where her first philosophy teacher was Jean Austin, the widow of J. L. Austin. As an undergraduate, she took Politics, Philosophy and Economics and said of her taste for philosophy: initially, the 'politics' part that most appealed to me. But somewhere down the line, despite encouragement from my politics tutor to pursue that subject, philosophy took over. [1] She studied Plato with Gilbert Ryle and logic with Michael Dummett. David Pears supervised her B.Phil. dissertation on ambiguity. At Cambridge, she wrote her PhD under the supervision of Timothy Smiley. She held the positions of Fellow of New Hall, Cambridge and professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick before taking her current position at the University of Miami. Haack has said of her career that she is very independent : rather than follow philosophical fads and fashions, I pursue questions I believe are important, and tackle them in the ways that seem most likely to yield results; I am beholden to no clique or citation cartel; I put no stock in the ranking of philosophy graduate programs over which my colleagues obsess; I accept no research or travel funds from my university; I avoid publishing in journals that insist on taking all the.
Forthright and wryly humorous, philosopher Susan Haack deploys her penetrating analytic skills on some of the most highly charged cultural and social debates of recent years. Relativism, multiculturalism, feminism, affirmative action, pragmatisms old and new, science, literature, the future of the academy and of philosophy itself—all come under her keen scrutiny in Manifesto of a Passionate Moderate. The virtue of Haack's book, and I mean virtue in the ethical sense, is that it embodies the attitude that it exalts.. Haack's voice is urbane, sensible, passionate—the voice of philosophy that matters. How good to hear it again. —Jonathan Rauch, Reason A tough mind, confident of its power, making an art of logic.. a cool mastery. —Paul R. Gross, Wilson Quarterly Few people are better able to defend the notion of truth, and in strong, clear prose, than Susan Haack.. a philosopher of great distinction. —Hugh Lloyd-Jones, National Review If you relish acute observation and straight talk, this is a book to read. —Key Reporter (Phi Beta Kappa) Everywhere in this book there is the refreshing breeze of common sense, patiently but inexorably blowing. —Roger Kimball, Times Literary Supplement A refreshing alternative to the extremism that characterizes so much rhetoric today. —Kirkus.
