Adam Morton FRSC (born 1945) is a Canadian philosopher. Morton's work has focused on how we understand one another's behaviour in everyday life, with an emphasis on the role mutual intelligibility plays in cooperative activity. He has also written on ethics, decision-making, philosophy of language and epistemology. His more recent work concerns our vocabulary for evaluating and monitoring our thinking. Morton was Professor of Philosophy from 1980 to 2000 at the University of Bristol in the UK and is now at the University of British Columbia. He was president of the Aristotelian Society during 1998/1999[1] and in 2006 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[2]
