Nationality[edit]

Is Kitcher British or American? In the first sentence, he's identified as American, but his upbringing suggests otherwise. Also, the German wikiarticle about him states that he's British. Gilliamjf 03:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should we really call him a British philosopher if all of his professional life, from graduate school to the present, has been in America? Does anyone know if he is still a British citizen, having resided in the U.S. for the past forty years? How does he choose to characterize himself? Bakesnobread (talk) 07:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changed nationality to "American." He's resided in America for most of his life, is an American citizen, and has done extensive work in American pragmatism. He's British born, but certainly counts as American. RealityApologist (talk) 23:04, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

request for help[edit]

... from anyone who watches/has contributed to this article. I just made this addition to the article on Theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Theory&diff=prev&oldid=171922842 - I'd appreciate it if people would go over it, make any necessry edits to correct or clarify it or just to improve the style. Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 21:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is evident that Kitcher didn't graduate with a First from Cambridge (or else it would have been written), but what honours did he get -- if any? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.246.47 (talk) 14:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to his website (under 'publications') he did get a First. 86.27.178.17 (talk) 02:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
