Preliminary Conclusions of an Incomplete Life
The dream of every Philosophy major is to find a job sitting around and thinking. As the market for professional philosophers remains soft, most of us have been forced to turn to jobs where we perform an actual function. Do your part to stop this tragedy--if you know of any monarchs looking for a philosophical advisor, submit the details here.
While waiting for those job offers to come pouring in, however, I will keep myself in practice with the occasionally-updated thoughts found on this page. The views expressed here are, unless otherwise noted, those of the author. If you feel like I'm off-base with any of them, feel free to tell me so. Or not. In turn, I will feel free to read your argument or ignore it, to respond to you or to mock you loudly or silently.
