About Judith Jarvis Thomson

Judith Jarvis Thomson is widely recognized for her work in moral philosophy and metaphysics. In moral philosophy, Thomson has made significant contributions to its sub-fields of applied ethics, moral theory, and meta-ethics. Her studies in metaphysics have largely covered the ontology of events and the identity across time of people and other physical objects. She is currently working on the question of what it is for one event to cause another.
