Welcome! I'm Malcolm Keating, Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Humanities Division of Yale-NUS College, Singapore, with a joint courtesy appointment in the Department of Philosophy, National University of Singapore.
I think about language, meaning, and knowledge. My research is in history of philosophy, as a way of doing philosophy. Specifically, my work engages with classical Indian philosophical traditions as well as contemporary Anglophone (analytic) philosophy of language.
