Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
"In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open."

Gilbert Ryle

Gilbert Ryle
"To explode a myth is accordingly not to deny the facts but to re-allocate them."

John Searle

John Searle
"If you can't say it clearly, you don't understand it yourself."

About Me

I teach philosophy at UW-Madison. I'm primarily interested in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and philosophy of science; but I work on issues in ethics and philosophy of religion as well. When not thinking about philosophy, I enjoy listening to Blues music, cooking, being outdoors, playing guitar, and developing my mediocre hook shot in basketball.

René Descartes

René Descartes
"In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn, than to contemplate."

David Hume

David Hume
"Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
“Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck”

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?"

Philippa Foot

Philippa Foot
"You ask a philosopher a question and after he or she has talked for a bit, you don't understad your question any more."

Delia Graff Fara

Delia Graff Fara
"By doing philosophy we can discover eternal and mind-independent truths about the real nature of the world by investigating our own conceptions of it, and by subjecting our most commonly or firmly held beliefs to what would otherwise be perversely strict scrutiny"
