Research Abstract

I realize I've provided uninformatively general research interests, with "philosophy" perhaps being the only possible less specific answer.  For better or worse, I have not quite narrowed my research interests officially.  I am interested in questions surrounding death, consciousness, skepticism and the metaphysics of space and time, among many others.  Historically, I'm influenced by Kant and have recently acquired an interest in Wittgenstein.  But all of this is provisional, as I find myself encountering new (to me) and interesting problems and ideas with regularity. .
