teaching

I've written and taught courses on:

• philosophy of science

• philosophy of mind

• philosophy of art / aesthetics

• philosophy and extreme music / noise

• philosophy of psychology / cognitive science

• formal logic

• philosophy of mathematics

• philosophy of language

• epistemology

• philosophy of biology

• history of philosophical ideas

• lying, bullshitting, misleading speech

• ethics

• 'human nature'

I've written a short book that's an intro-to-introductory logic, published by Hodder Education / Hatchette UK in 2011. It's not a textbook, it's more just a gentle summary of some of the things that show up in the early stages of most first-year undergraduate logic courses. 

It has cartoon pictures on most pages and I was allowed to make a special request for the illustrator, Peter Lubach, to draw a couple of new images so I asked for a picture of a monkey playing a synthesiser (it's relevant to evaluating the syllogism under discussion), and he did.

[For what it's worth, I was imagining a howler monkey playing a Buchla 200, but it looks more like a small chimpanzee playing a Korg microkorg]. 

Clicking the cover to the left will take you to the google books page, but the 'see inside' preview doesn't include the commissioned artwork, so to see a chimp on a synth you might just have to buy a copy or request that your library orders it for you.
