Why Study Philosophy?

How to Major or Minor in Philosophy

This summer, I'll teach Logic (syllabus) and HUM 313 (syllabus).

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.
