Wilde Professor of Mental Philosophy
The Wilde Professorship of Mental Philosophy is a chair in philosophy at the University of Oxford. Its holder is elected to a Fellowship of Corpus Christi College.
The position was initially established in 1898 as a readership by an endowment from the engineer Henry Wilde.[1] It was converted to a professorship in 2000, on the recommendation of the Literae Humaniores Board and with the concurrence of the General Board.
According to the University's statutes: "The Wilde Professor shall lecture and give instruction in Mental Philosophy, and shall from time to time lecture on the more theoretical aspects of Psychology."[2]
