John Passmore was born on 9 September 1914 in Manly, Sydney, where he grew up.[2][3] He was educated at Sydney Boys High School.[4] He subsequently graduated from the University of Sydney with first-class honours in English literature and philosophy whilst studying with a view to become a secondary-school teacher.[1] In 1934 he accepted the position of assistant lecturer in philosophy at the University of Sydney, continuing teaching there until 1949.[5] In 1948 he went to study at the University of London. Upon his return to Australia he took up a post at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Australian National University, where he was professor of Philosophy in the Research School of Social Sciences from 1958 to 1979. He published about twenty books, many of which have been translated.[6] Philosopher Frank Jackson notes that Passmore "shaped public debate and opened up philosophy and history of ideas to the wider world".[6]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1023.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1023.txt
