John Madison Cooper (born 1939) is the Henry Putnam University Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University and an expert on ancient philosophy.

Education and career

Cooper earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1967 and taught there until 1971, when he accepted a tenured position in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught until he moved to Princeton in 1981. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2001.[1]

In 2011, Cooper delivered the John Locke Lectures at Oxford University,[2] and in 2012, he delivered the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Stanford University.[3]

He is an old friend of Alexander Nehamas.[4]

He once isolated an African-American woman at a talk about Ancient Greek philosophy and the superiority of the philosopher's life to others when she implied that his statements were elitist by stating, "After all, there were slave women in the Garden of Epicurus." [5]

Academic work

He is the editor of the Hackett edition of the complete works of Plato, as well as author of Pursuits of Wisdom: Six Ways of Life in Ancient Philosophy from Socrates to Plotinus and a number of other books on ancient Greek philosophy.[6]

Selected books

  • Reason and Human Good in Aristotle (1975)
  • Reason and Emotion (1999)
  • Knowledge, Nature, and the Good (2004)
  • Pursuits of Wisdom: Six Ways of Life in Ancient Philosophy from Socrates to Plotinus (2012)
