Biography

I research a variety of topics in both theoretical and applied philosophy. Probably my most significant research contributions have been in epistemology and philosophy of action (especially on free will), though I’ve also done work in many other areas including philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and various area of applied ethics (especially medicine, death, and animals).

At the graduate level I have taught seminars on various topics in philosophy of mind, epistemology, ethical theory and meta-ethics, philosophy of action, and other areas.

At the undergraduate level my recent teaching has been mostly on various topics in theoretical and applied ethics, in philosophy of law (usually criminal law issues though sometimes constitutional law), and on various issues in philosophy of medicine (psychiatry, end of life issues, the law / medicine intersection and more). I work closely with many pre-law and pre-med students hoping to attend the finest law and medical schools.
