'''Susan Haack''' is a professor of [[philosophy]] and [[law]], and is currently on the faculty at the [[University of Miami]] in [[Miami, Florida|Florida]].  She has made significant contributions in the fields of philosophy of [[language]], [[epistemology]], and [[metaphysics]].

A graduate of [[Oxford University|Oxford]] and [[Cambridge University|Cambridge]], Haack held the positions of Fellow of [[New Hall, Cambridge]] and professor of philosophy at the [[University of Warwick]], before taking her position at Miami.

Haack's work is well known, having been reviewed and cited in such general interest publications as the ''[[Times Literary Supplement]]'', as well as many more specialized [[academic]] journals.  Among the books she has written are ''Deviant Logic'' ([[1974]]), ''Philosophy of Logics'' ([[1978]]), ''Manifesto of a Passionate Moderate: Unfashionable Essays'' ([[1998]]), and ''Defending Science - Within Reason Between Scientism and Cynicism'' (October [[2003]]) ISBN 159102117.  Many acclaim her skill as a writer and speaker as highly as her philsophical insights.  She compared the practice of science to solving a crossword puzzle and wrote a play "'We Pragma�tists ...': [[Charles Peirce|Peirce]] and [[Richard Rorty|Rorty]] in Conversation" comprised entirely of quotes from both philosophers and performed the role of Peirce.  She has written for the [[Secular Humanist]] magazine [[Council for Secular Humanism|Free Inquiry]].

Haack is an honorary member of [[Phi Beta Kappa]] and [[Phi Kappa Phi]], a past President of the [[Charles Peirce|Charles S. Peirce]] Society, and a past member of the U.S./U.K. Educational Commission.
