PAUL RUSSELL was appointed Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Lund University in January 2018. At Lund he also serves as Director of the Lund | Gothenburg Responsibility Project (LGRP). This is a half-time research position and has been made possible thanks to a major grant from the Swedish Research Council for "the international recruitment of leading researchers"(2014). From 1987-2022 he was a Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia.

My profile in Lund University research portal

My interests cover the areas of free will and moral responsibility along with various topics in early modern philosophy. Within the area of free will and moral responsibility I am particularly interested in the challenge of scepticism and theories of responsibility that appeal to reactive attitudes or moral sentiments. On the subject of early modern philosophy I am especially concerned with the philosophy of David Hume and how his philosophy relates to problems of religion and atheism.
