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.

Recording of AMC session on Public Reason and Political Autonomy

 

The PPE Society hosted an online “author-meets-critics” session on my book, Public Reason and Political Autonomy, last spring. It was recorded and is available on YouTube. Here’s a link to it.

 

My thanks (again) to the commentators, Christie Hartley, Micah Schwartzman, Chad Van Schoelandt, and Lori Watson. And thanks as well to Kori Hensell of the PPE Society for organizing the session.

 

Thanks as well for the excellent questions from Emil, Alex, and Baldwin!
