In Memoriam: Professor Thomas Nenon

The Philosophy Department at the University of Memphis mourns the loss of our colleague and friend, Prof. Thomas Nenon, who passed away on April 4, 2025.

Tom joined our department in 1985, and was instrumental in the development of our Ph.D. program a few years later. Tom was a tireless advocate of the department, and a peerless mentor both to our students and to his colleagues. He was an internationally-recognized scholar of German Phenomenology (especially Husserl), Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Provost. He left a profound and lasting mark the on the University of Memphis, the Philosophy Department in particular, and on the discipline of philosophy.

We will miss him as we struggle to rise to the challenge set by his example.
