Here are five out-standing ๐Ÿ™‚ philosophers; one of them is especially important. Congratulations to David Walsh who passed his PhD viva voce exam today! Here he is pictured with examiners Prof. Joel Krueger and Dr. Alessandro Salice, together with supervisors Dr. Adam Loughnane and Dr. Joel Walmsley.
