Noel Boulting studied under Richard S Peters at the London Institute of Education to obtain his academic diploma in the Philosophy of Education; under David Hamlyn and Stuart Brown at Birkbeck College, London, to obtain his first degree in philosophy; and under Imre Lakatos and John Watkins at the London School of Economics to obtain his mastership in the Philosophy of Science. He has taught philosophy for the Extra-Mural Department, University of London; Philosophy of Education at Trent Polytechnic and Educational Studies at Mid-Kent College of Higher and Further Education as well as created and taught philosophy courses at Great Falls University, Montana. His philosophy club, NOBOSS, was formed in 1977 on the basis initially of forwarding an interest in the philosophies of A N Whitehead and C S Peirce since such interests could not be pursued in English universities outside theology departments at that time. NOBOSS meets at least twice a year, and professors of philosophy from America and Germany have attended its sessions. His publications include articles on C. S. Peirce, Edward Bullough, Thomas Hobbes, Aldo Leopold, Jean Paul Sartre, Simone Weil, Vico, Max Horkheimer and the Aesthetics of Nature besides those on Nationalism, Ecological Responsibility, Reification, Science and Human Values, Power and Conceptions of God, Role of Metaphor (Expressões da Analogy M.L. Soares (ed.), 2008), In Defence of Iconic Reification (Constellations March 2014) as well as an examination of Concepts of Action and the Justification of Value Judgments. His To Be Or Not To Be Philosophical was published in the autumn 2001. His latest book – On Interpretative Activity, applying Peirce’s Sign theory to interpretation in Science, Technology and the Arts – was published by Brill Academic Publishers at the end of August 2006.
