John Patrick Hawthorne[1] FBA (born 25 May 1964) is an English philosopher, currently serving as Professor of Philosophy at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne,[3] and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California.
[6] He earned his PhD from Syracuse University, where he studied with William Alston and Jonathan Bennett.
Hawthorne's 2006 collection Metaphysical Essays offers original treatments of fundamental topics in philosophy, including identity, ontology, vagueness, and causation, which one reviewer called "essential reading for anyone currently engaged in analytic metaphysics".
[8] Unlike contextualism, Hawthorne's view does not require that the meaning of the word "know" changes from one context of ascription to another.
