Welcome to my homepage!

In our philosophy classes, we’ll be exploring some of the deepest and broadest questions we humans ask ourselves–about what it means to be a human person, to know, to be morally responsible, simply to be!  Our guides will be the some of the great thinkers that have come before us, or are working right now.  But we’ll be rigorously trying to think about those great questions ourselves, and when we do, we’ll be thinking philosophically too.

P.S.  Here are some brief videos introducing my classes for the coming terms:  Phl 201 Being and Knowing, Phl 211 Existentialism, and Phl 212 Philosophy of Mind.
