Philip West
Dr Philip West has a degree in Science, and a PhD in Philosophy and related subjects, both from Cambridge University. He taught students aged 8 to 18 for many years in a variety of schools and is now a full-time author.
Philip's latest book, Just Think, contains philosophy puzzles for intelligent children aged 9 to 14. These originated in a Philosopher of the Week competition which he ran at Westminster Under School, and they were subsequently published in Aquila magazine. His first book, The Old Ones in the Old Book: Pagan Roots of the Hebrew Old Testament, examines the polytheistic paganism underlying the text of the Old Testament.
Philip lives in north London with his wife Tricia, who is a retired primary school headteacher.
