Early Life
Morris was born in Abaco Island, in the Bahamas. He had a strict religious upbringing that later influenced his philosophical work. His mother, a theologian, tutored him intensely and he shared with her a passion for learning and scholarship. His family moved from Abaco to Freeport during his childhood, where he attended the Parish Hall school.
He later studied law, theology, political science, and philosophy at Oxford Brookes University, Harvard University Extension School, Institute for British and Irish Studies (IBIS) at Mansfield College, Oxford, and the London School of Economics.
