Richard W. Miller

Richard W. Miller is a political philosopher and professor at Cornell. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1975. His dissertation, "Solipsism and Language in the Writings of Wittgenstein," was directed by Rogers Albritton and Hilary Putnam. While he currently specializes in social and political philosophy, Miller has published books and articles on epistemology, philosophy of science, and ethics. Recently he has been writing a book on global justice entitled "Globalizing Justice: The Ethics of Poverty and Power." He believes there is an ethical duty to aid needy compatriots over more needy foreigners because otherwise the trust between the domestic poor and domestic rich would be undermined, and the domestic poor would not consent to their situation.

He is the author of "Marx and Aristotle", in Alex Callinicos's "Marxist Theory".
