Biographical/historical note

A prolific writer on animal liberation and animal rights philosophy, Tom Regan (1938-2017) was professor and department head in the Philosophy Department at North Carolina State University. The publication of Regan's The Case for Animal Rights marked a major advance in the philosophical underpinnings of the animal rights movement. This book brought the discussion of animal rights to new levels of serious attention within scholarly circles.

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 an 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 to Professor of Philosophy in 1978. Regan served as Head, Department of Philosophy and Religion, North Carolina State University, from 1996 to 1999.

During his more than thirty years on the faculty of N.C. State, Regan received numerous awards for excellence in teaching; published scores of professional papers as well as more than twenty books; was 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 Alexander Quarles Holladay Medal, the highest honor N.C. State University can bestow on one of its faculty.

Regan was a member of numerous professional societies and 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 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 has been translated into several languages, including Swedish, Dutch, Italian, and German. Others 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 contributed to 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). Regan was co-founder and 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).

Regan was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and a Fellow of the National Humanities Center.

Tom Regan was married to the former Nancy Tirk, with whom he co-founded The Culture and Animals Foundation. They had two children, Bryan and Karen.

Tom Regan died at his home in North Carolina on February 17, 2017.

Scope/content

The Tom Regan Papers contain correspondence, research files, drafts, reprints, audiovisual materials that document the professional career of one of the most widely-known authorities on animal rights. The collection pertains chiefly to the two major intellectual pursuits of Tom Regan's career, animal rights and the moral philosophy of G. E. Moore. Also included are files related to his thirty years of service to North Carolina State University,some personal material, and material related to other subjects.

Arrangement

The Tom Regan Papers are organized into series:

  • Writings
  • Research Files
  • University Files
  • Personal Papers
  • Professional Papers
  • Pamphlets, Newsletters, Reprints and Publications
  • Public Appearances
  • Audiovisual Materials
  • Artifacts and Oversized Materials
  • Born Digital Materials

Original order has been maintained where possible throughout the collection. The designated series reflect the groupings created by Tom Regan. Wherever possible, all materials related to a specific publication, public appearance, or University course have been placed in those respective series. The two exceptions to this general rule are the personal and the professional series. The former contains correspondence from family members and others unconnected to Regan's professional life and the latter contains correspondence that treats Regan's general professional career.
