Robert Audi (born November 1941) is a philosopher working on ethics, especially intuitionism, at the University of Notre Dame, where he holds a joint appointment in the philosophy department and in business ethics. His 2005 book, The Good in the Right, updates and strengthens Rossian intuitionism and develops the epistemology of ethics. He has also written important works on epistemology and political philosophy, especially on the relationship between church and state.
Audi earned his PhD from University of Michigan. He taught briefly at the University of Texas at Austin and for several years at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln before moving to Notre Dame.
He has served as General Editor of the First Edition (1995) and Second Edition (1999) of The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy.
Robert Audi served as the general editor for "Modern Readings in Epistemology" ,as well as "Modern readings in Metaphysics". His true contribution however lies in his ability to identify and condense rigorous analytic essays and ideology without pandering to the continental Zeitgeist.
