Phillip Blond (born 1 March 1966) is an English political philosopher, Anglican theologian and director of the ResPublica think tank.
Born in Liverpool and educated at Pensby High School for Boys, Blond went on to study philosophy and politics at the University of Hull, continental philosophy at the University of Warwick and theology at Peterhouse at the University of Cambridge. At Peterhouse, he was a student of John Milbank, founder of the Radical Orthodoxy theological movement and a noted critic of liberalism, philosophically understood. Blond's first work, Post-Secular Philosophy: Between Philosophy and Theology, is very much in the Radical Orthodoxy line of thought and includes essays by many of that group's members. Blond won a prize research fellowship in philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York.
Blond was a senior lecturer in Christian theology at the Lancaster campus of St Martin's College and after the merger with Cumbria Institute of the Arts in August 2007 he worked at the Lancaster campus the University of Cumbria and was a lecturer in the Department of Theology at the University of Exeter.
Blond was the director of the Progressive Conservatism Project at the London-based think-tank Demos, but left due to "political and philosophical differences" to establish his own think-tank, ResPublica.
