Justin Broackes is a Professor Emeritus at Brown University specializing in philosophy, particularly focusing on the history of 17th and 18th-century philosophy. He has a doctorate from Oxford and has taught at both Brown and Oxford, where he was a Fellow at Oriel College. His research interests encompass topics such as the theory of color and color perception, as well as metaphysical issues related to the nature of perception and its connections to historical philosophical thought. He has also edited works on Iris Murdoch, a significant philosophical voice from the 1950s to the 1960s.
