Professor Graham Nerlich: SAVES new patron
SAVES is both delighted and honoured to welcome Emeritus Professor Graham Nerlich as a patron. Professor Nerlich is Professor of Philosophy at Adelaide University, where he took his first degree of joint honours in Philosophy and English Literature, and graduate studies taken at Oxford University. He held a Chair of Philosophy at the University of Sydney and returned to Adelaide as Hughes Professor of Philosophy in 1974.
His interests in philosophy are quite general, but his research work has pursued the metaphysical problems of space, time and relativity theory, as well as the foundations of ethics. He has published three books and numerous academic papers. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, and also serves on several committees concerned with the ethics of scientific and medical experiments on animals.
Married to Margaret Rawlinson, Graham has three children from a former marriage. He is a keenly interested, semi-professional actor.
We welcome Graham, who along with our founding president Jim Richardson, will ensure that SAVES is well represented in pursuing its aims. Graham will be addressing the November public meeting on his chosen topic ‘Leading a life’.
