Barry Smith

I'm a professor of philosophy and Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of London School of Advanced Study.

I'm a philosopher of mind and language, and I'm interested in how these systems help put us in touch with the world around us and with ourselves, and I'm especially interested in the senses and our sense of taste and smell.
