About Benedict Rattigan

---

Benedict Rattigan is a philosopher and writer. He is Director of the Schweitzer Institute, a think-tank that is affiliated with Peterhouse, University of Cambridge; his fields of research include ethics, symmetry, and the relationship between order and chaos. 

Rattigan's theory of dynamic symmetry has been described by the Oxford University scientist Professor Denis Noble CBE as ‘one of the most deep theoretical insights you could have about the nature of the Universe… It couldn't be more profound. This simple insight is the sort of breakthrough we academics dream of.’ 

The theory has inspired conferences at the British Museum and Balliol College Oxford, an academic journal dedicated to the subject, and a Routledge book, The Language of Symmetry, written by an interdisciplinary team of Oxford academics.
