Currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech. I work primarily in philosophy of technology, applied ethics, and social/political philosophy. My doctoral work concentrated on an ethical assessment of copyright over digital objects, an ontological inquiry into the nature of digital objects, and an articulation of the political implications of the structures of technological change which have brought about the current digital crisis in copyright. It's available for free-as-in-speech-and-beer hereCurrent research involves (1) an attempt to use lessons learned from terrorism, blogs, and the open-source community in order to produce a viable and gradualist anarchist theory, (2) the formulation and popularization of the media-vegan movement, and (3) developing a heterophenomenologically-based evolutionary metaepistemology. Primary figures in my work include Kant, Hegel, Freud, Dewey, Mumford, Heidegger, Camus, Adorno, Marcuse, and Baudrillard. I also raise and hybridize orchids, specializing in Paphiopedilum, Bulbophyllum, Sarcanthinae Allies, and Bletiinae.
WikiProject Philosophy task list
- Charles Peirce: This article needs a lot of help. The POV is way too idiosyncratic and the style is offputting for a general audience, to say the least. You will have to be willing to go to the mat, however, with the primary author, who has been banned but has reappeared under different names.
- Desert: At least narrow it down to being in philosophy, ethics, or morality. An actual article at any of these three would be nice, too.
- Cesare Cremonini: created "start-level", would need new eyes and hands.
- Fatalism: Stub-like. Needs to be cleaned up and expanded
- Aristotelianism: Needs to be expanded
- Logical argument: Needs work to be of use
- Sign / Symbol: Introductions contain too much technical jargon
- Catholic Probabilism: Pretty nearly straight from the old Catholic Encyclopedia
- Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and inference.
- Human agency: Expand, correct, and reference. Any support for altering the name?
- Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology Sartre's magnum opus, barely more than a stub
- Übermensch: desperately needs knowledgable attention
- Kant's Groundwork: re-write, expand
- Existentialism: in dire need of a cleanup and reworking of information
- African philosophy: needs a lot of work!
