Timothy John Smiley, professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Cambridge, has died.
Professor Smiley was known for his work in logic. He is the author (with D.J. Shoesmith) of Multiple Conclusion Logic (1978) and (with Alex Oliver) of Plural Logic (2013), among other works. You can learn more about his writings here. A festschrift, The Force of Argument: Essays in Honor of Timothy Smiley, was published in 2010.
Smiley retired from Cambridge in 1998 as Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy. He spent his entire career at Cambridge, starting as a fellow of Clare College in 1955, following his undergraduate and graduate education there.
He died last week.
Very sorry to read about this. I only met Tim Smiley a handful of times, but his erudition, intelligence and kindness, and interest in ancient logic made a big impression on me as a student.
