- George Molnar (philosopher)
George Molnar (1934-1999) was a Hungarian-born philosopher whose principal area of interest was metaphysics, and who worked mainly at the Philosophy Department at the University of Sydney. In the 1960s he was a prominent member of the libertarian Sydney Push and in the 1970s involved in the [http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~jim/sydq.html Sydney philosophy disturbances] . An infrequent but influential publisher of articles and material, Molnar was working on a book at the time of his death, he published four philosophical papers in two separate spells; the first two in the 1960s and the second two after a return to the profession in the 1990s. Stephen Mumford at the University of Nottingham is acting as archivist of his work and maintains a small page detailing this aspect of his research at the University.
