Allen Wood is a moral philosopher specialising in the work of Immanuel Kant and the field of German idealism, with particular interests in ethics and social philosophy. He is the Ruth Norman Halls professor of philosophy at Indiana University and has held professorships and visiting appointments at numerous universities in the United States and Europe.
