Biography
Richard Heck received his PhD from MIT in 1991. He then taught at Harvard for 14 years, coming to Brown in 2005. Heck is probably best-known for his work on historical, conceptual, and technical problems emerging from the philosophy of Gottlob Frege. Over the last few years, however, his main focus has been on the philosophy of language and logic.
Heck is an Associate Fellow of Arché, the AHRB Research Centre for the Philosophy of Logic, Language, Mathematics, and Mind at the University of St Andrews. He is a member of the editorial board of Philosophers' Imprint and is the creator and maintainer of PhOnline, a searchable index of online papers in philosophy.
