Derek Parfit
Derek Parfit is a philosopher who specializes in problems of personal identity, rationality and ethics, and the relations between them. His 1984 book, Reasons and Persons (described by Alan Ryan of The Sunday Times as "something close to a work of genius") has been very influential in the field. He currently serves as a professor of philosophy at New York University (NYU) 14 weeks every other year, on leave from his post at the University of Oxford.
