Christine M. Korsgaard (born 1952 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American philosopher whose main academic interests are in moral philosophy and its history; the relation of issues in moral philosophy to issues in metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, and the theory of personal identity; the theory of personal relationships; and in normativity in general. She has taught at Yale, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Chicago; since 1991 she has been a professor at Harvard University.
Korsgaard received a B.A. from the University of Illinois and a Ph.D from Harvard. She was a pupil of John Rawls.
In 1996, Korsgaard published a book entitled The Sources of Normativity,[1] which was the revised version of her Tanner Lectures on Human values, and also a collection of her past papers on Kant's moral philosophy and Kantian approaches to contemporary moral philosophy: Creating the Kingdom of Ends.[2] In 2002, she gave the John Locke Lectures at the University of Oxford.[3]
