What is this blog about?

I am a political philosopher. My 'political philosophy' is a form of 'liberal egalitarianism.' So in this blog I reflect on various issues in political philosophy and politics (especially Canadian and American politics) from a liberal egalitarian perspective.

If you are curious about what I mean by 'liberal egalitarianism,' my views are strongly influenced by the conception of justice advanced by John Rawls. (So I sometimes refer to myself as a 'Rawlsian,' even though I disagree with Rawls on some matters.)

Astonishingly, I am paid to write and teach moral and political philosophy. I somehow manage to do this despite my akratic nature. Here is my faculty profile.

Public Reason and Political Autonomy: Author Meets Critics Session

This Friday (29 April 2022), 1:00 - 3:00 (EDT), I'll be taking part in an "Author Meets Critics" session. We'll be discussing my new book, Public Reason and Political Autonomy (Routledge, 2022).

The critics will Micah Schwartzman (Law, University of Virginia), Chad Van Schoelandt (Philosophy, Tulane University), and Lori Watson (Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis). Chairing the session will be Christie Hartley (Philosophy, Georgia State University).
