The record lists Richard Swinburne as British philosopher of religion.
Richard Swinburne was born at Smethwick in 1934. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He studied at Exeter College.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at University of Oxford, Keele University and University of Aberdeen.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy of science and theology.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from United Kingdom matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
