Angie Hobbs is Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield and is a frequent expert contributor to programs on philosophy and ethics, including Timewatch, Radio 4's In Our Time, Newsnight and author of the recently published Plato's Republic: a Ladybird Expert Book.
