Tony Milligan

Milligan studied at the University of Stirling, reading philosophy, before going on to the University of Glasgow to study for a doctorate. His PhD thesis was entitled "Iris Murdoch's Romantic Platonism". He then worked as a teaching fellow at the University of Aberdeen's department of philosophy, and then as a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Hull. After his time at Hull, he returned to Aberdeen. He then moved to the department of philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, where he worked for two years as a lecturer. He then moved to King's College London, where he is currently a researcher with the Cosmological Visionaries project, within the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.^[1] Milligan has argued for the environmental protection of other planets, for caution in the use of the finite resources of nearby regions of space, and for the cultivation of a larger than Earthly sense of belonging which has parallels with Indigenous cosmologies.^[2]
