two-year Mellon Post-Doctorate Fellowship at Stanford University. Previously, he
was Visiting Assistant Professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles
and at UCLA. His book, Descartes's Metaphysical Reasoning, published by
Routledge (June 2001), testifies to his interest in early modern philosophy, and
a review article in Faith and Philosophy (January 2002) on Charles
Taliaferro's book Consciousness and the Mind of God, points to his other
main area of specialization, contemporary philosophy of mind. His most recent
publication, "Problems with the Garber-Dear Theory of the Disappearance of
Descartes’s Method," is forthcoming in Philosophical Studies. Other
strong interests are the philosophy of language and logic, the philosophy of
action, the history of Analytic philosophy, and metaphysics.
