One of the America’s foremost scholars in epistemology and the contemporary philosophy of religion, Linda T. Zagzebski is George Lynn Cross Research Professor of Philosophy and Kingfisher Chair of the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics at the University of Oklahoma. Her work focuses on the intersection of ethics and epistemology, in addition to religious epistemology, religious ethics, virtue ethics, and the varieties of fatalism. A graduate of Stanford University, where she earned a B.A. with distinction and with honors in humanities, she took a Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1979. She then joined the philosophy faculty of Loyola Marymount University where she taught for two decades, becoming a full professor in 1995 and chairing the philosophy department for four years. In 1999, she moved to the University of Oklahoma where she assumed the Kingfisher Chair, the oldest endowed chair in the university. In 2006, she was awarded Oklahoma’s highest research honor, the GLC Professorship. In addition to research grants from Loyola Marymount, Dr. Zagzebski’s work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. She has held a Distinguished Scholar Fellowship at the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, a Lily Senior Fellowship at Valparaiso University, a Romanell-Phi Beta Kappa Professorship in Philosophy, and she has been a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the University of Uppsala in Sweden and a McCarthy Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Dr. Zagzebski is an honorary member of Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit honor society. She delivered the Bitar Lectures at Pennsylvania’s Geneva College last year and will deliver the Wilde Lectures in Natural Theology at Oxford University next spring. A former president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association (ACPA) as well as of the Society of Christian Philosophers, she currently serves as a member of the board of advisors of the John Templeton Foundation and director of the Templeton Research Fellows Program at Oxford University. A member of the editorial boards of Sophia, Logos: Journal of Catholic Studies, Philosophy and Phenomenological Review, Faith and Philosophy, the European Journal for Philosophy of Religion, and the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, she formerly served as North American editor of Ashgate Press’s Philosophy of Religion series and as co-editor of philosophy of religion for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The author of some eighty-five papers published in academic journals or as chapters in volumes of collected works, she is the editor or co-editor of four books, including, most recently, (with Timothy D. Miller) Readings in Philosophy of Religion: Ancient to Contemporary, which was published earlier this year by Blackwell. Her five books include: The Dilemma of Freedom and Foreknowledge (1991 and 1996), which was selected by Choice as an outstanding book of the year; Virtues of the Mind: An Inquiry into the Nature of Virtue and the Ethical Foundations of Knowledge (1996), a theory of knowledge based upon the model of virtue theory in ethics; Divine Motivation Theory (2004), a new form of virtue theory based on emotions; Philosophy of Religion: An Historical Introduction (2007), another outstanding book of the year selection by Choice; and On Epistemology (2008), a general introduction to the field of epistemology.
