Cody Gilmore


I am an assistant 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 and propositions, the nature of death, and various topics in the philosophy of mind, especially the unity of consciousness. [Back to my departmental page]

I am a section editor at PhilPapers for the following categories: Material Objects, Endurance, Perdurance, Stage theory and worm theory, Three- and four-dimensionalism, Coincident objects, Material constitution, Mereology, Universalism.
