My research is primarily in Kant and early modern philosophy, but I am also interested in contemporary epistemology, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion.

Here you can find a CV (html) (pdf), some online papers, and the website for the course I teach most springs.

Here's the syllabus for the Kant course I teach in the fall (Moodle course site), and one for my spring 2009 grad seminar on the third Critique.

At the moment I'm co-coordinating the Upstate NY Early Modern Workshop (schedule):

 

and also guest editing (with Tim Costelloe) a special edition of the Journal of Scottish Philosophy for the CSSP, in which we'll publish essays on Scottish aesthetics broadly conceived, together with the winning essay in the George Davie Prize Competition ... Submissions welcome!

 

Since 2004, I've been the faculty adviser for...

...whose excellent editors do all the hard work.

 

 

If you'd like, you can check out the special Phil Forum volume on Neo-Kantianism that I co-edited with Terence Irwin and Thomas Teufel last summer.

 

 

Or look over the table of contents of the Festschrift that I recently co-edited with Andrew Dole (now in paperback!):

 

 


 


Here's a favorite blog (truth in advertising: this is run by some friends of mine, and I am not myself vegan, though I sometimes aspire to it),

a favorite charity, a favorite search engine,

the non-profit organization that my father currently directs,

and one of my favorite bands (truth in advertising: I went to college with these guys).

 

 



To a Dead Man

by Carl Sandburg

OVER the dead line we have called to you
To come across with a word to us,
Some beaten whisper of what happens
Where you are over the dead line
Deaf to our calls and voiceless.

The flickering shadows have not answered
Nor your lips sent a signal
Whether love talks and roses grow
And the sun breaks at morning
Splattering the sea with crimson.
