teaching
I regularly teach critical thinking, ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of science.Â
I have also taught existentialism, Ancient Chinese philosophy, 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.
