Simon Glendinning (born 1964) is an English philosopher, and is currently Professor of European Philosophy in the European Institute at the London School of Economics. He is Director of the Forum for European Philosophy. Glendinning's work is characterised by the way in which it engages with thinkers and themes from both the 'analytic' and 'continental' traditions in philosophy. His first book, ''On Being With Others: Heidegger-Wittgenstein-Derrida'', is an analysis of the problem of other minds. His later writings are largely concerned with the phenomenological tradition in philosophy. ''In the Name of Phenomenology'' is a detailed study of that tradition. ''The Idea of Continental Philosophy'' is a critique of the contemporary division between ‘analytic’ and ‘continental’ philosophy, and argues that phenomenological philosophy in particular should not be conceived as an exclusively ‘continental’ tradition. In 2011 he published ''Derrida: A Very Short Introduction''. However, most of his work since 2007 has involved a turn from European Philosophy towards the Philosophy of Europe. His father was the Goya specialist, Nigel Glendinning. His mother is the author, Victoria Glendinning. He is the youngest of four brothers. The eldest, Paul Glendinning, is a mathematician at the University of Manchester. The second is the photographer, Hugo Glendinning and the third is sports journalist, Matthew Glendinning. He lives with his partner, the journalist and writer Jennie Walmsley, and their three children, in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, a small village in South Oxfordshire (for which he also plays cricket). In January 2015 Glendinning was a guest on BBC Radio 4's ''In Our Time'', which discussed phenomenology.〔()〕 ==Academic career== Glendinning studied philosophy at the University of Oxford and at the University of York, since which he has held a series of positions: * 1993–1997: Lecturer, Department of Philosophy, University of Kent * 1997–2004: Senior Lecturer, Department of Philosophy, University of Reading * 2004–2013: Reader in European Philosophy, European Institute, LSE * 2014–present: Professor of European Philosophy, European Institute, LSE 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Glendinning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
