About Me
My research centers around the cognitive science of metaphysics, logic, and language—especially the relationship between formal logic and cognition. In particular, I seek to re-examine and rehabilitate the pragmatic work and ideas of F. C. S. Schiller (1864-1937, sometimes known as "the forgotten pragmatist"), principally related to the ways that what we refer to today in cognitive science as "embodiment" (Schiller often referred to a similar cluster of concepts by the name of "humanism") impacts some of the key assumptions underlying formal logic.
Other prominent areas of interest to me are: Pragmatism, Nietzschean thought, philosophy of project management, Buddhist logic, machine metaethics, deflationary theories of truth, embodiment, moral theory (esp. varieties of utilitarianism), and term-functor logic.
My influences include: John Stuart Mill, Hume, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Dewey, F.C.S. Schiller, William James, Carnap, A.J. Ayer, W.V.O. Quine, Hilary Putnam, Mario Bunge, Fred Sommers, George Englebretson, Paul Thagard, Mark Johnson, Paul Horwich, Michael Devitt, Cornel West, and J. Davidson Frame.
