Biographical Note

Tom Regan was born Thomas Howard Regan on November 28, 1938 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Thiel College in 1960 with a degree in philosophy, and went on to receive both master's (1962) and Ph.D. (1966) degrees from the University of Virginia.

Regan's first professional appointment was as Instructor, and then Assistant Professor of Philosophy, at Sweet Briar College (1965 - 1967). In 1967, he accepted the position of Assistant Professor of Philosophy at North Carolina State University. He was promoted to Associate Professor of Philosophy in 1972, and finally to Professor of Philosophy in 1978. Regan served as Head, Philosophy & Religion, NCSU, from 1996 - 1999.

During his more than thirty years on the faculty, he received numerous awards for excellence in teaching; published scores of professional papers as well as more than twenty books; been awarded major international awards for film writing and direction; and presented hundreds of lectures throughout the United States and abroad. He was named the recipient of the William Quarles Holladay Medal, the highest honor NC State University can bestow on one of its faculty.

Regan's contributions to professional organizations and scholarship are significant. He is a member of numerous professional societies, and has held a variety of offices in them, including the North Carolina Philosophical Society; the American Society for Value Inquiry; the Society for the Study of Ethics and Animals; Ethics and Values in Science and Technology; and the American Philosophical Association's Committee on Medical Ethics. He has served on the editorial boards of a number of journals, including, Ethics, The Australian Journal of Professional and Applied Ethics, and Ethics and the Environment.

Among his books, two (The Case for Animal Rights and Bloomsbury's Prophet: G. E. Moore and the Development of His Moral Philosophy) were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The Case for Animal Rights was immediately recognized as a "modern classic" when it first appeared in 1983. It has been translated into several languages, including Swedish, Dutch, Italian, and German. Other of Tom Regan's books that touch on the topic of animal rights are All That Dwell Therein: Essays on Animal Rights and Environmental Ethics (1982) and Animal Sacrifices: Religious Perspectives on the Use of Animals in Science (1986).

For its part, Bloomsbury's Prophet has helped re-energize and re-direct Moorean scholarship in particular and the study of early twentieth century British philosophy in general. In addition to Bloomsbury's Prophet, Tom Regan's other major contributions to Moorean scholarship are Moore: The Early Essays (1987) and G. E. Moore: The Elements of Ethics (1991). He is co-founder and past president of the Moore Society.

Tom Regan's major film awards include the Silver Medal for We Are All Noah (International Film Festival of New York, 1986) and the Gold Medal for Voices I Have Heard (Houston International Film Festival, 1988).

A past recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, and a past Fellow of the National Humanities Center, Regan's recently published work includes Defending Animal Rights and (with Carl Cohen) The Animal Rights Debate.

Tom Regan is married to the former Nancy Tirk, with whom he co-founded The Culture & Animals Foundation.

This small series is divided into several sub-series. Since the collection focuses on Tom Regan's professional career, there is little personal correspondence or non-professional writings. These are placed at the beginning of the series. The bulk of this series consists of materials related to his education. Yearbooks, certificates, class notes, and his dissertation are placed in chronological order starting with Northern Allegheny High School (Pittsburgh), through Thiel College where he received his B.A., to the University of Virginia where he earned a M.A. and Ph.D. Publicity, consisting of interviews and clippings not related to specific books or appearances is placed after education. Finally, certificates and awards appear at the end of the series. Note that many of the certificates and awards are located physically in artifact or oversize boxes.

The research series maintains Tom Regan's original order throughout. His two main professional pursuits are reflected in the two largest sub-series: Animals and G. E. Moore. The Animals sub-series is further divided into medical, "negative," and types, issues, and organizations. The "negative" classification refers to information negative to Regan's position in the animal rights movement. This includes attacks on the movement and counter movements that emphasize humane treatment of animals in research. Topics in the Animals sub-series are arranged alphabetically. The G. E. Moore sub-series contains articles written by Moore, as well as reprints of articles written about Moore. For Tom Regan's notes and drafts of his writings on Moore, see the writings series. Appearing after the two main sub-series are two smaller groupings. The subject files treat research information not related to animals or Moore, while the book notes files are notes removed from books that are in the Tom Regan book collection. The book notes sub-series is organized alphabetically according to the title of the book from whence they came.
