Master’s Thesis

I’ve uploaded my master’s thesis onto the Paper’s page.  I don’t think that the final product is actually my best work (”Two-Dimensions” is probably the best work I’ve done to date) but writing it was definitely a rewarding experience. 

Defended

This morning I successfully defended my thesis, entitling me to my Master’s degree from Georgia State University’s Philosophy Department.  The thesis was titled Kantian Conceptualism and Apperception.  Tomorrow, while administering one of the three exams that constitute my final duties as a Georgia State student, I will begin summer reading.  I have decided that one of the ways in which I will utilize this blog is to begin an annotated bibliography of all of the book chapters and articles that I read.  Look for that in the coming months.

Workshop on Kant and Nonconceptual Content

I want to go here.

If you want to know where to send checks in order to contribute to the “send Raleigh to Luxembourg to discuss his thesis with Robert Hanna” fund, indicate your interest in the comments.

Haha.  Just kidding.  No one comments.
