If anyone, a student perhaps, wants to know more about me, they can click on the above, but just to shorten the process a bit, and maybe bore people less, let me be so bold as to add the following personal statement:

 

1. Research interests:

• Early Modern Philosophy
• The Scottish Enlightenment
• Immanuel Kant
• Philosophical Aesthetics
• And I am more or less in charge of the Philosophy Department's Periodical Room.
• Visitors should know that the most important part of that room may be the Arnold B. Come Collection of works by, and about, Soren Kierkegaard..

2. Teaching:

In general, students of mine might find useful:

"Philosophy and the New Technology: a Beginner's Guide"

:

During the Fall term, 2007, I taught:

Philosophy and the Arts (PHI 3322, double-listed as Art 3390).{ I finally decided to add an Introduction , which explains what this course is about.}. See also:

• Assistance for Aesthetics
• I am adding a new "Appendix" on "Aesthetics and the New Technology."
• Bibliography (pdf.). This item requires Acrobat Reader to view.
  You may download it now if you do not have it.
• And check out the updated Syllabus for 2007!! (an html. file).

During the Spring term, 2008, I taught:

Moral Philosophy (PHI 3301) . See also:

• Appendix on Nineteenth Century American Moral Philosophy. I am adding a couple of files, about what 19th century periodicals are available online.
• It could also be interesting to have a long look at The Dewey Newsletter. I should warn the reader that this is a rather large pdf. file, and will require some time to download--I am especially interested in pp. 181-182 of this file.
• And you might check my Three Lectures on Locke's Second Treatise on Government.
