I have had the repeated fortune of having been taught by faculty who have precipitated the most significant transformations in my intellectual and personal life. My aim in teaching is to play the same sort of role in the lives of my students which those professors played in my life. My teaching is driven by three goals which I take a philosophical education to be aimed at: teaching students to appreciate arguments and to be articulate in presenting their own reasoning, teaching them to appreciate the pervasiveness, normative inevitability, and enduring necessity of philosophical thought, and encouraging in them a confidence in their own intelligence.
