Larry Temkin is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Rutgers University. He specialises in normative ethics and political philosophy. In particular, his research into equality, practical reason, and the nature of the good has been very influential.
Temkin has lectured extensively worldwide, including for the World Health Organization and the World Bank, and his individualistic approach to inequality has been adopted by the World Health Organization and the Gates’ Foundation in their measurements of the Global Burden of Disease. Temkin has received fellowships from a number of prestigious institutions including Harvard University’s Safra Foundation Center for Ethics and All Souls College, Oxford.
