Taylor chaired the department of philosophy at Stanford University from 2001 to 2009.[2] Professor Taylor specialized in philosophy of language and philosophy of mind.[3] Professor Taylor's interests included semantics, reference, naturalism, and relativism. He was the author of numerous articles, which appeared in journals such as Noûs, Philosophical Studies, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research; and three books, Truth and Meaning: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Language (Blackwell Publishers), and Reference and the Rational Mind (CSLI Publications) Meaning Diminished: Toward Metaphysically Modest Semantics (Oxford University Press).[4]
Taylor received his A.B. from the University of Notre Dame in 1977.[5] He received his Ph.D. in 1984 from the University of Chicago, where he completed his dissertation under the supervision of Leonard Linsky. Before coming to Stanford, Taylor taught in the philosophy departments at Rutgers University, University of Maryland at College Park, Wesleyan University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Middlebury College.[6]
