Martha Klein

Martha Klein is a British philosopher whose work focuses on the intersection of the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy, with a particular emphasis on the concept of free will. She held academic positions in Oxford, serving as a lecturer in philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford, before being elected as a Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford. She retired from her academic career in 2006. Klein's research interests are deeply rooted in fundamental questions of agency and responsibility, encompassing free will, moral responsibility, and moral psychology. Her notable publication, "Determinism, Blameworthiness, and Deprivation" (1990), explores the complex relationship between determinism and our notions of blameworthiness, a central theme in her philosophical inquiries.
