I regularly teach critical thinking, ethics, metaphysics, and Classical Chinese Philosophy.Â
I have also taught existentialism, philosophy of science, logic, and philosophy of religion.
I've led independent studies on the emotions, philosophical theology, Wittgenstein, philosophical logic, modal logic, counterfactuals, psychopathy, laws of nature, the metaphysics of technology, and values in science.
When I have the opportunity to teach a seminar, it's usually on moral psychology.
