Gabriele Taylor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
E. Gabriele Taylor (born 11 October 1927) is a British philosopher and university teacher. She was fellow and tutor in philosophy at St Anne's College, Oxford, until her retirement in 1996. She notably taught the philosophers Roger Crisp and Constantine Sandis, and the politicians Edwina Currie and Danny Alexander. Since then, she has continued work as a senior research fellow of the college, pursuing her own particular interests in ethics.
Taylor was born in 1927 and grew up in Berlin. Her early education was disturbed by the war, and at the conclusion of hostilities she and her family found themselves in the British sector of the occupied city. She worked for a while with the Red Cross but ultimately was able to travel to England in 1947 to join a relative already in the country. She then worked part-time while also studying, and then was successful in gaining a place at St Anne's College, Oxford, in 1952 to read philosophy, politics and economics (PPE). She went on to study for the BPhil degree in philosophy, which she completed in 1957.[1]
