Claudia Mills said, "I think of philosophers as being the people who ask the kinds of questions that the other grownups have stopped asking." As a philosophy teacher, I have the privilege of guiding students through those questions, helping them to think clearly and critically about the fundamental nature of the world. This page contains some of my teaching materials.
