Rate My Professor Christopher Macleod

Macleod's research centers on the philosophy of John Stuart Mill, exploring the foundations Mill offers for his theories of practical and theoretical reason, as well as Mill's connections to the Kantian, post-Kantian, and Romantic traditions. His broader interests encompass the nature of naturalism, objectivity, and the suitability of theoretical and practical concepts. Key publications include the co-edited volume A Companion to Mill (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017) with Dale E. Miller; 'Truth, Discussion and Free Speech in On Liberty II' (Utilitas, 2021); 'Mill on the Primacy of Practical Reason' (Analysis, 2018); 'Mill's Antirealism' (Philosophical Quarterly, 2016); 'Mill on Autonomy' (in The Routledge Handbook of Autonomy, 2022); 'Mill on the Liberty of Thought and Discussion' (in The Oxford Handbook of Freedom of Speech, 2021); 'Mill on Freedom, Normativity, and Spontaneity' (in Freedom after Kant: From German Idealism to Ethics and the Self, 2023); 'Historicizing Naturalism: Mill and Comte' (in A Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy, 2019); 'Mill on History' (in A Companion to Mill, 2017); and 'Mill, Intuitions, and Normativity' (Utilitas, 2013). He authored the 'John Stuart Mill' entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2016 edition) and 'Genocide' in The Encyclopedia of Political Thought (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014).
