Biography and career

Parsons is a son of the famous Harvard sociologist Talcott Parsons. He earned his Ph.D. in philosophy at Harvard University in 1961, under the direction of Burton Dreben and Willard Van Orman Quine.[2][3] He taught for many years at Columbia University before moving to Harvard University in 1989.[3] He retired in 2005 as the Edgar Pierce professor of philosophy, a position formerly held by Quine.[3]

He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[4]

Among his former doctoral students are Michael Levin, James Higginbotham, Peter Ludlow, Gila Sher and Øystein Linnebo.
