Cody Gilmore


I am an associate professor in the department of philosophy at UC Davis. I work in metaphysics, mainly on issues about material objects, part-whole relations, and location relations that things can bear to spacetime regions. I am also interested in questions about universals, propositions, personal identity, and the nature of death. [Back to my departmental page]
