Philippa Foot, philosopher and ethicist, author of several books on morality and rationality, and creator of a number of thought experiments on morality, the most common of which is the so-called Trolley Problem. She was one of the first people to propose that morality was not a subjective or outside force, and that it was in fact rooted in rational decision-making.
