teaching
My teaching interests span broadly across moral philosophy and applied ethics. Outside of moral philosophy, I have strong teaching interests in epistemology (especially work on self-knowledge and epistemic justification), philosophy of science (especially philosophy of biology, including its bearing on issues in moral philosophy and psychology), and philosophy of mind and AI.
Below is a list of courses I have taught recently. Please email me if you would like to see a syllabus for any of the courses below: mcaninch[at]msoe.edu.
