Welcome!
I'm Malcolm Keating.

I am Associate Professor of Philosophy at Smith College, Northampton, MA, USA

My academic CV is available here.

At Smith, I teach in the philosophy department and advise philosophy majors, linguistics majors, and South Asian Studies minors.

About Me

I work on philosophy of language, with some interest in aesthetics, epistemology, and argumentation. 

What do words mean? How do we understand metaphors and non-literal language? What can we know and how can we know it? What norms should govern our arguments with other people?

I think about these questions along with Sanskrit-language philosophers in the Indian subcontinent, primarily early Nyāya and Mīmāṃsā. Along the way, I make connections with contemporary analytic philosophy.
