Terrell Ward Bynum is an American philosopher, writer and editor. Bynum is currently director of the Research Center on Computing and Society at Southern Connecticut State University, where he is also a professor of philosophy, and visiting professor in the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility in De Montfort University, Leicester, England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕 He is best known as a pioneer and historian in the field of computer and information ethics; for his achievements in that field, he was awarded the Barwise Prize of the American Philosophical Association,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barwise Prize )〕 the Weizenbaum Award of the International Society for Ethics and Information Technology,〔See his biography in Who's Who in America 2011.〕 and the 2011 Covey Award of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards )〕 In addition, Bynum was the founder and longtime editor-in-chief of the philosophy journal ''Metaphilosophy'' (1968 to 1993);〔Terrell Ward Bynum, "Creating the Journal Metaphilosophy", ''Metaphilosophy'', Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 186–191.〕 a key founding figure (1974–1980) and the first executive director (1980–1982) of the American Association of Philosophy Teachers; biographer of the philosopher/ mathematician Gottlob Frege, as well as a translator of Frege's early works in logic.〔Gottlob Frege, Conceptual Notation and Related Articles, Translated and Edited with a Biography and Introduction by Terrell Ward Bynum, The Clarendon Press, 1972 (Reprinted as an Oxford Scholarly Classic, 2002) ISBN 0-19-824359-6.〕 Bynum's most recent research and publications concern the ultimate nature of the universe and the impact of the information revolution upon philosophy.〔See the list of Selected Publications in this article.〕
== Education ==
As a teenager with a home chemistry set, Bynum became interested in the ultimate nature of the universe, an interest that was reinforced by a high school chemistry teacher who taught "the new chemistry" of the 1950s, and also by an English teacher who assigned philosophical writing exercises to her students. After high school, Bynum studied chemistry at the University of Delaware (1959 to 1963), where, in 1961, philosopher Bernard Baumrin created the Delaware Seminars in Philosophy of Science 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philosophy of science )〕 featuring lectures by world-famous philosophers of science, such as Carl Hempel, Adolph Grunbaum, and Ernest Nagel. Impressed by the Delaware Seminars, Bynum added philosophy as a second field of study, and Baumrin became his logic teacher and mentor. At that time, Bynum developed a strong interest in the life and work of philosopher/ mathematician Gottlob Frege. As an undergraduate at the University of Delaware, Bynum was surprised to learn that, although Gottlob Frege was considered by many to be "the greatest logician since Aristotle", very little was known about Frege's life, and some of his most important logical writings had never been translated into English.〔Terrell Ward Bynum, Preface, in Gottlob Frege, Conceptual Notation and Related Articles, Translated and Edited with a Biography and Introduction by Terrell Ward Bynum, The Clarendon Press, 1972 (Reprinted as an Oxford Scholarly Classic, 2002) ISBN 0-19-824359-6.〕 Bynum vowed to write Frege's biography and translate Frege’s most important logical works, if the opportunity arose to do so.
In 1963, Bynum graduated from Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Honors and Distinction and a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy with Honors and Distinction. His senior thesis derived a complex acid-base algorithm from the laws of thermodynamics using symbolic logic. In 1963–64, he was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Bristol, England, studying philosophy of science with Stephan Körner. From 1964 to 1967 he was a graduate student, with a Danforth Fellowship and a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, in Princeton University's Program in the History and Philosophy of Science. In that program, he took courses that included, among others, history of science with Thomas Kuhn, philosophy of science with Carl Hempel, logic with Alonzo Church, and analytic philosophy with Richard Rorty. In 1966, he was awarded an MA in philosophy by Princeton. While still at Princeton, Bynum began writing a manuscript on Frege, which originally was to be a doctoral dissertation, but developed, instead, into the "Frege project".
To complete his university education, Bynum entered the PhD Program in philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in 1982. He was granted an MPhil in philosophy from CUNY in 1984 and a PhD in philosophy in 1986. His doctoral dissertation was entitled ''Aristotle's Theory of Human Action'', and it was written under the direction of Bernard Baumrin.
