About me
I have been interested in philosophy most of my life – probably because I’ve had some great teachers. At Cambridge, where I switched to Philosophy from Natural Sciences in 1969, my mentors included Bernard Williams, Hugh Mellor and John Skorupski.
Then in 1977-79 I did a Philosophy MA at Birkbeck College, London, where I encountered David Hamlyn, Ruby Meager, Roger Scruton and Samuel Guttenplan. After completing the MA I started a PhD with Roger Scruton as my supervisor, but life took over before I got very far with it.
While at Birkbeck my day job was in IT, and my career has been pretty much IT ever since. I’m now an independent business architecture consultant. For more on this please visit www.makeworkmakesense.com.
I am married to Wendy and we have one son Joe. At the end of 1996 we jumped at the opportunity to come to Cape Town for a year. It’s now 2010 and we’re still here.

Chris, glad I found your blog! In particular I have some questions for you about natural selection. I’ll ask them in a comment on one of your articles soon. We probably won’t see eye-to-eye (where’s the fun in that?) but what I’ve read so far resonates. Coming up with the same answer isn’t nearly so important as finding people who ask the same questions. Cya!

Thanks for the response! You may have noticed my blog has been a bit inactive for the last few weeks. But this is temporary. Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks again, Chris.
