My CV is available here.

My current work is on developing a virtue theory of aesthetics (link goes to rough notes,) as well as some work on complexity in ethics (again, rough notes), understanding as essential to knowledge, (link goes to rough version, in pdf, of a paper on epistemic value of understanding) and the nature of personal identity. I’ve also developed the perfect Gettier problem, as it’s the first to make use of the abilities of supervillains to interfere with our knowledge claims. It also overcomes, I think, the four most common objections to Gettier cases: that there’s a false link in the inferential chain, that the inferential chain is not relevant to the knowledge, that the elements of the inferential chain are not causally related to the truth of the knowledge claim, and that Doctor Doom was not given the respect that is his due.

Issues in ethics and identity are dealt with in two recent papers for popular volumes; the ethics piece is from “Batman and Philosophy” and serves as an introduction to Western ethics. The identity piece, also introductory, is from “Watchmen and Philosophy.” I can’t include the “Watchmen” piece here, as it’s to be printed with almost no editing, but the Batman piece had an early form that’s largely different from the printed form. That early version is here.

An essay “Worldmaking As Art Form” appeared in the Summer, 2007 issue of “International Journal of the Arts in Society.” An early version of that essay can be found here.

My essay “Losing Your Voice on the Internet” appears, strangely, all over the internet, and in many syllabi.

The books Batman and Philosophy and Watchmen and Philosophy are available at Amazon, as is High Noon on the Electronic Frontier.
