I am a
graduate student in the Department of Philosophy at
My
philosophical interests are somewhat broad at this point. I am starting work on
a dissertation that will touch upon the following topics:
- Some questions about fundamental ontology
– namely, issues surrounding the materialism/dualism/pluralism
debate.
- The debate between metaphysical realism and antirealism – i.e. the
question whether there exists any “mind-independent”
substances and what this mind-independence might amount to.
- The debate between semantic realism and antirealism – i.e. the
question whether there is a mind-independent property of propositions that
is (or at least comes close to being) the referent of our terms
‘true’ and ‘truth’.
In the
course of my studies, I have stumbled upon some important discoveries:
- Knowledge is true belief
- Meaning is in the head
- There isn't anything it's like to be a bat
- There is no right or wrong
And, last but not least,
- Nothing exists
(P.S.) Don't worry: This does not happen to everybody at Rutgers...
Although
jobs in philosophy do not exist (both literally and figuratively), I may need
to get one some day. So - here's my curriculum vitae.
