Hi. I'm a second year in the program here. I hail from Kansas. I did my undergrad at Lake Forest College in Illinois where I majored in Philosophy and Religion.

Some stuff. I study virtue ethics and Socrates was probably right about everything...OK maybe Aristotle was. No, probably Socrates. Wrote my undergraduate thesis on Martin Luther's influence on Kierkegaard's philosophy. Luther is a doofus; Kierkegaard is a cleverer doofus. Working on a MA thesis on if perfectionists have any satisfying account of the badness of pain. Yowch! I like Nietzsche. "How terrible," you think, "he must hate God and Country and maim innocent forest creatures like bunnies and squirrels every day." It's not true! It's just not...I only do that when I have spare time.

Always happy to chat.
