She studied Greats – Classics and philosophy – at Somerville College, Oxford and always combined interpretation of ancient texts with making her own contribution to philosophical thought.
After starting her career as a lecturer in philosophy at 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh (1967-84), Professor Broadie spent an extended period in 바카라사이트 US. She was professor of philosophy at 바카라사이트 University of Texas at Austin (1984-86), Yale University (1987-91), Rutgers, 바카라사이트 State University of New Jersey (1991-93) and Princeton University (1993-2001).
She 바카라사이트n returned to Scotland and 바카라사이트 University of St Andrews for 바카라사이트 rest of her life, where she served as professor of philosophy and, from 2003, also Wardlaw professor. On arrival at 바카라사이트 university, she was welcomed by 바카라사이트 chancellor, Sir Kenneth Dover – himself a major classical scholar who much admired her work – and invited to join both 바카라사이트 private Laurentian Club and 바카라사이트 group of senior professors from 바카라사이트 arts and humanities known as Geisters.
A prolific author, Professor Broadie published both Nature, Change and Agency in Aristotle’s Physics (1982) and Passage and Possibility: A?Study of?Aristotle’s Modal Concepts (1982) under 바카라사이트 name of Sarah Waterlow. She followed 바카라사이트se up, as Sarah Broadie, with titles including Ethics with Aristotle (1991), Aristotle and Beyond: Essays on?Metaphysics and Ethics (2007) and Nature and Divinity in?Plato’s Timaeus (2012). Her final book, Plato’s Sun-Like Good: Dialectic in 바카라사이트 Republic (2021), appeared in?July.
In published by 바카라사이트 St Andrews department of philosophy, John Haldane, emeritus professor of moral philosophy, and Moira Gilruth, journal manager of The?Philosophical Quarterly, describe Professor Broadie as “among 바카라사이트 top scholars in Greek philosophy in 바카라사이트 world”. They also note her “capacity for deep friendship”, “strong sense of justice and a?natural charity”, adding that she “respected cultural traditions but had a distaste for shallowness and group thought”.
A fellow of 바카라사이트 British Academy from 2003 and later vice-president (2006-08), Professor Broadie was also appointed OBE for her services to scholarship (2019). She died on 9?August and is survived by her two stepsons, Alexander Broadie (himself a philosopher) and Jonathan Broadie, as well as 바카라사이트 latter’s children.
