John Corvino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Corvino, (born 1969) is an American author and professor of philosophy at Wayne State University.

John Corvino attended St. John's University where he obtained his B.A. in 1990, with a Ph.D University of Texas at Austin in 1998. He is currently in the Department of Philosophy at Wayne State University where he is an associate professor. He earned tenure in 2007.

Reviewing Same Sex in the Times Literary Supplement, Nigel Ashford commented that "the tone of the book — of reason and logic, respect for opponents and willingness to engage in intellectual combat — is set by Corvino himself in his examination of the case against homosexuality, and by the inclusion of a rebuttal of his own arguments." (as quoted in Gale's Authors, op.cit.) [1]
