About Me
I am a doctoral candidate in philosophy at UMass, Amherst. I research a wide variety of topics from the perspective of an abiding committment to methedological and metaphysical naturalism.
In my dissertation I explore the possibility of giving a naturalistic foundation to Robert Nozick's ethical theory. In particular, I adopt the framework of Cornell realism and show that Nozick's ethical theory provides an alternative, non-consequentialist, conception of Cornell realism.
When I'm not working on philosophy you can find me reading an actual, physical newspaper, playing the guitar and other instruments, watching sci-fi tv shows, and listening to the Grateful Dead.
