Michael Ruse, who died on November 1, 2024, was an enthusiastic and esteemed contributor to Closer To Truth and a dear personal friend. He was our advisor for CTT’s Philosophy of Biology series, flowing with ideas and never hesitant to offer critique.

Michael’s intellectual life was one of ebullience and passion. A full-throated Darwinian, he loved engaging and debating. A committed atheist, he took religion seriously. A prolific writer, he luxuriated in each new publication as if it were his first. He never tired of sending along his latest book or article, usually laced with clever mixtures of encomiums and self-deprecation.

There isn’t a philosopher who loved philosophy more than Michael did. See Michael’s videos—five CTT TV episodes, 20 CTT videos, and one CTT Chat—on Closer To Truth.
