Janet Radcliffe Richards (born 1944) is a British philosopher specialising in bioethics and feminism. She is the author of The Sceptical Feminist (1980), Philosophical Problems of Equality (1995), Human Nature after Darwin (2000), and The Ethics of Transplants (2012).

Biography

Richards was Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University 1979–1999, and Director of the Centre for Bioethics and Philosophy of Medicine at University College London[1] until 2007. She is the author of several books, papers and articles, and has sat on a variety of advisory and working committees in areas of philosophy and bioethics.[2] Since 2008, she has been Professor of Practical Philosophy at Oxford University. She is also a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics[3] and posts regularly at the University of Oxford's Practical Ethics: Ethical Perspectives on the News website.[4]

Her identification with feminism and her focus on bioethics both occurred "by accident"[5] during the writing of her first book, The Sceptical Feminist: A Philosophical Enquiry (Routledge, 1980; Penguin, 1982) – bioethics being central to the abortion debate.[6] The book proved to be controversial within and outside feminism, e.g. in regard to standards of rationality,[7] fashion and style, and her liberal stance.[8]

Her second book, Human Nature After Darwin: A Philosophical Introduction (Routledge, 2001) explores the so-call Darwin Wars, including what implications Darwinism raises for philosophy and the application of critical thinking to various arguments put forward in the debate. It was originally written as an introduction to philosophical techniques for Open University students using the controversies relating to Darwinian thinking and human nature.[9]

At present, her name often arises in articles and discussions on organ transplantation, in particular the idea of a legitimate organ trade.[10][11][12]

She was married to the philosopher Derek Parfit from 2010 until his death in 2017.[13]
