Teaching Philosophy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Students in all my courses can expect to be part of a supportive and engaged class community searching for answers to some of the most pressing and persistent questions humans have asked. Who am I? What is real? What is eternal? How do we know? How should we act as individuals and as a community? We read historical and recent texts, watch films, and view videos of modern philosophers, and we examine the ways the questions they raise apply to modern life. In our assignments, students learn to think clearly and critically, to evaluate arguments, and\u2014most importantly\u2013to add their own voices to these ongoing philosophical conversations.<\/p>\n
