Michael Taylor (LLM, DPhil) is new to the WEA but has extensive teaching experience over a long career. He began over thirty years ago as a College Lecturer in Moral and Political Philosophy at Lincoln College, Oxford, and has since been actively engaged in teaching and lecturing at many leading universities around the world. Although his professional career mainly involved work in economics and economic policy, Michael has always retained his passion for philosophy, and has published several well received books on the nineteenth century thinker Herbert Spencer.
