From 2025-2028 I will hold a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship for a research project: Moral Knowledge and Democratic Community: An Essay on Ethics and Expertise. I am very grateful to the Leverhulme Trust for this wonderful opportunity.

This is the homepage of Jimmy Lenman. Sometimes also known as James Lenman. I'm not fussy.
I work in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. I have taught courses in many areas of philosophy including ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, logic, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine and John Rawls. |
Before coming to Sheffield, I was a schoolboy in Dundee, Scotland, then an undergraduate student at St Catherine's College, Oxford University, reading Philosophy, Politics and Economics (but not very much Economics), then a graduate student at St Andrews University studying for an M.Phil. and then a PhD in Moral Philosophy (my thesis was, I fear rather pretentiously, entitled "Realism and Idealism in the Theory of Value"), then a Lecturer at Lancaster University and then a Lecturer then Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. In 2002-2003 I was a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Ethics and the Professions at Harvard University.
