Biography
I was born in Brighton in 1950, and in 1968 won a place at Clare College Cambridge, where I read Theology. After graduating in 1971, my original intention had been to write a thesis on the philosophical theology of Paul Tillich, but I became absorbed by questions in political philosophy and the philosophy of the social sciences and I wrote a thesis on Equality and Social Policy. I was fortunate that my supervisor at the time, Dorothy Emmet, was an expert both in philosophy of religion and in the philosophy of the social sciences, and she was crucial in my being able to make the transition from one field to the other.
I have worked in the intersection of political theory and public policy. In political theory, my main contemporary intellectual influences have been John Rawls and H. L. A. Hart, and in the history of political thought John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick. In public policy, I have been particularly interested in understanding the intellectual paradigms that policy makers use, sometimes unconsciously, when making decisions, particularly in health policy and environmental policy.
