Andrew L. McFarland (이수민)

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the City University of New York, specifically in the Philosophy Program at LaGuardia Community College. I am also a Chercheur Associé at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, University of Paris 1 - Panthéon-Sorbonne (IHPST).  For more on LaGuardia's fantastic philosophy program, check out this NPR story.  

My research focuses on topics in the metaphysics, epistemology, and language of science, particularly regarding natural kinds and classification.  I also have interests in the history of philosophy (especially Locke and Hume), and 19th Century European philosophy, especially proto-Existentialists like Nietzsche.

Finally, I am the lead chair in organizing LaGuardia's annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference co-hosted by the Humanities Program and the Social Sciences Department, and the coordinator for the Queens Public Philosophy  discussion group.
