Teaching

Why Study Philosophy?

How to Major or Minor in Philosophy

This fall, I'll teach Epistemology (syllabus), Philosophy of Religion (syllabus), and a First-Year Seminar (syllabus). 

      Tomas Bogardus

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pepperdine University. I work mainly in metaphysics and epistemology, and I am most interested in the mind-body problem and the rationality of religious belief.
