This page includes a photograph and a very short description of myself, for those who are curious about the author of these Web pages.
I was born in Cleveland Ohio, 1950. My main interests in philosophy are history of modern philosophy, theory of knowledge, and logic. I received my B.A. at The Ohio State University (1972), majoring in philosophy. My Ph.D. is from the University of Pittsburgh (1979). My dissertation was "The Idealism of Kant and Berkeley,"directed by Wilfrid Sellars. I have two published papers on Kant: "Kant's Conception of Berkeley's Idealism," and "Kant's Theory of Propositional Attitudes." Both are in Kant Studien. I am a member of the North American Kant Society. I also have two published papers in theory of knowledge, "Lehrer's Personal Coherentism and the KK Thesis," and "Personal Coherence, Objectivity and Reliability."
