St. John's College, Oxford, UK. His translations from German into English include letters of
Martin Heidegger to his wife. Translations from the Spanish include a collection of stories by

water and of
self. Glasgow taught philosophy courses on 'The Phylogeny of the Self' to biologists at the
Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology, Magdeburg, and the
University of Würzburg, Germany, and received a PhD for a thesis on this topic from the Graduate School of Humanities at the
Julius-Maximilians University of Würzburg, Germany, under the supervision of Roland Borgards, Karl Mertens, and
