““The imagination is an essential tool of the mind, a fundamental way of thinking,
an indispensable means of becoming and remaining human.”
– Ursula K. Le Guin “The Operating Instructions” ”
I work primarily in philosophy of mind. Much of my work concerns imagination – what it is and what it is used for. I have also done considerable work on consciousness. More information is available on my research page. See also my PhilPapers profile and my Google Scholar profile.
At CMC, I teach classes in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and logic. I also serve as Director of the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
For 2024-25, I am serving as President of the Pacific Division of the American Philosophical Association and also as a member of the APA Board of Officers.
