McMaster University’s flags are lowered today in memory of Philosophy professor Barry Allen, who passed away on November 9.
Allen was a member of the Philosophy department for 39 years, a Distinguished University Professor at McMaster, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
He was a dedicated teacher, supervising 35 MA and 15 PhD theses and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on topics that included classical Chinese and European philosophy, philosophical psychology and aesthetics. His students remember him as an inspirational lecturer and dedicated mentor.
He will be sorely missed by his colleagues and students at McMaster, friends, and family.
