Rosalind Carey (20th Century)

Carey, who was born in Winchester, Massachusetts, received her B.A. from Assumption College in Massachusetts with a double major in Religious Studies and Philosophy. She entered a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at Boston University but left the program at the ABD point, receiving a master's degree. She then entered a Ph.D. program at Boston University in analytic philosophy, writing a dissertation (under Burton Dreben, Juliet Floyd, Jaakko Hintikka and Judson Webb) titled Bertrand Russell on Perception and Belief: His Development From 1913-1918.

She now is an assistant professor of philosophy at Lehman College/CUNY in New York City. A member of the Bertrand Russell Society (BRS) since 2000, she has been on the board of directors since 2002. She has served as co-editor of the Bertrand Russell Society Quarterly since 2003.

Carey is especially interested in Bertrand Russell’s theory of judgment and has recently published Russell and Wittgenstein on the Nature of Judgment (Thoemmes Press/Continuum, 2007). She is also the co-author, with John Ongley, PhD, of another book on Russell, The Historical Dictionary of Bertrand Russell: The Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies, and Movements (Scarecrow Press, 2008).

For the BRS, she is the convener of society meetings at the American Philosophical Association, and for the last several years she has hosted meetings of the Bertrand Russell Society at the Central and Eastern (and sometimes Pacific) division meetings of the APA, sometimes in conjunction with the History of Early Analytic Philosophy Society, which she created in 2003 and over which she presides. She has in the past hosted two annual meetings of the Bertrand Russell Society.
