Peter Murray

Peter Murray serves as a Teaching Professor in the Philosophy Department at Skidmore College, located in Saratoga Springs, New York, with his office in Ladd Hall, Room 108.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Philosophy, University of Chicago
• M.A. in Philosophy, UC Santa Cruz
• B.A. in Philosophy, UC Santa Cruz
• B.A. in Russian and Soviet Studies, UC San Diego

Professor Murray's research spans Philosophy of Action, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language, Ancient Greek Philosophy, and Wittgenstein's works, emphasizing the interplay between language, cognition, and human experience across historical and contemporary frameworks. His scholarship bridges analytic and continental traditions while examining embodied cognition and linguistic structures.

His sole documented publication—a 2000 review of Neil Smith's Chomsky analysis—reflects early engagement with linguistic philosophy, though current work-in-progress indicates renewed focus on metaphysical questions of personal identity and mortality. This trajectory suggests evolving research from linguistic foundations toward existential philosophy.
