Dr Ellie Robson

I am a Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy at Merton College, Oxford and the British Society for the History of Philosophy Postdoctoral Fellow (2024-25). I completed by PhD at Birkbeck, University of London (2019-2023). 

​

My research focuses on the ethics of Aristotle through the lens of under-appreciated figures in the history of philosophy. My postdoc aims to position Aristotelian ethics as a tradition animating a great deal more of twentieth-century British philosophy than is typically acknowledged.

 

My interest lies is at the intersection of: 

​

• Meta-ethics/Ethics. 

• The History of Philosophy. 

​

I am particularly interested in the philosophy of Mary Midgley and the so-called 'Wartime Quartet' 

​

I am also a Research Fellow at Centre for Contemporary Aristotelian Studies in Ethics and Politics (CASEP) (2023-2025) and an Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London.
