About

Alan Soble has been a University Research Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, since 2007. He began teaching at UNO in 1985, and his last year was from August 2005, through the summer, of 2006, during which (post-Katrina) he taught both online and in the classroom. He received the B.S. magna cum laude in Biology from Albright College (Reading, PA) in 1969; the M.A. in Pharmacology from SUNY/Buffalo in 1972; and the Ph.D. in Philosophy in 1976, also from SUNY/Buffalo, where he studied with Newton Garver, Carolyn Korsmeyer, Thomas D. Perry, Richard Hull, and Richard Friedman (political science). From the Spring, 2007, through the Fall, 2016, he was Professor of Philosophy (Adjunct) at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.

 

Soble published five books, edited ten collections of essays, compiled an encyclopedia, and wrote over 100 articles and reviews. Translations of his publications have appeared in Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Slovenian. During 1991–1992, he spent ten months as a Fulbright Professor at Budapest Technical University and Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. In 1994, UNO appointed him Research Professor, and in 1998 the UNO Alumni Association gave him the Career Achievement Award for Excellence in Research. In addition to reading 23 papers at meetings of the three divisions of the American Philosophical Association, he delivered lectures at Agnes Scott College, Amherst College, California State University (Sacramento), Cape Breton University (Canada), Dickinson College, Eastern Kentucky University, LaSalle University, Middle Tennessee State University, Wichita State University, and the University of West Florida. He was the Keynote Speaker in 1997 at the UNO Colloquium on Gender Diversity, in 2000 at the 54th Mountain-Plains Philosophy Conference, and in 2005 at the conference of the Eastern Pennsylvania Philosophical Association. He was the Founder (in 1977) and the Director (1977–1992) of The Society for the Philosophy of Sex and Love.

 

Soble has recently turned his attention to philately and postal history. For two years, 2019–2020, he edited the quarterly philatelic journal Czechout. In 2019, he won the Bill Dawson Memorial Literature Prize (1st place, Czechoslovak Philatelic Society of Great Britain) for his 2018 essay “Removal of Czech Markings from Postal Cancellers in the Slovak State.” In 2022, he was awarded a Gold Medal in the Literature Class, by the London International Philatelic Exhibition and the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie, for the four 2019 issues of Czechout, volume 37.
