I am a graduate student in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. I received a B.A. from Boston University and an M.A. in philosophy from the University of Wyoming. More recently, I was a visiting student at Arché and Yale. My main research interests lie at the intersection of epistemology and philosophy of mind, but I find that I can get excited by just about any philosophical issue. Recently I've been thinking a lot about experiencing, perceiving, knowing (that and how), understanding, intuiting, and grasping. This might reflect my general interest in the different sorts and sources of knowledge -- and, even more generally, in the relations between mind and world. I also dabble in the philosophy of language, metaphysics, philosophy of action, philosophy of religion, meta-ethics, and philosophical psychology, among other topics. I sometimes post on such things over at Close Range, but not here (though you should probably go there anyway). |
