In Memoriam

portrait: Peter Lipton

The late Peter Lipton, Hans Rausing Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, lectured each year at the Templeton–Cambridge Journalism Fellowships Program, until his untimely death in November 2007. His lectures, a model of clarity and spiced with humour, were exceptionally popular with Fellows. He had a unique way of using the philosophy of science to explore philosophical issues about religion. The University of Cambridge has created a page in his honor.
