Peter Ohlin

Like many I was a huge admirer of Barry's -- as a philosopher and simply as a human being. He was the quintessential philosopher who was always trying to get to the bottom of the most important and difficult questions -- and then the deeper questions under those. As you might know he served as an adviser to OUP (what we call delegates) in the 1990's and early 2000's when I first started and I got to know, and respect, his sensibility -- a sharp intellect of course but in the context of his advice to OUP, a practical attitude about what really mattered. I was surprised and saddened to hear about his passing and I will miss him.
