                                                 Question: Is there no way out of the mind? (Sylvia Plath, "Apprehensions")
                                                 Answer: ψυχῆς πείρατα ἰὼν οὐκ ἂν ἐξεύροιο πᾶσαν ἐπιπορευόμενος ὁδόν· οὕτω βαθὺν λόγον ἔχει (Heraclitus, DK B45)

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.
