About The Site

This blog is intended as a forum for direct engagement between those who have a passing, casual, academic or professional interest in philosophical practice and philosophical subjects. That said, the content of the discussion is not limited to philosophy; do as you will.

• About the Webmaster

My name is Raleigh Miller.  I am a graduate student in philosophy.  I received my masters in philosophy at Georgia State University and my Bachelors in Philosophy (&etc.) at Drake University.  I am now at the Ohio State University pursuing a PhD.  I have been working on such widely variant topics as Marx, Kant, Hegel, moral psychology, two-dimensionalism, moral semantics, metaethics, experimental philosophy, free will, and philosophy of mind.  Eventually (some of) these interest will materialize in a focused and internally coherent research project, but I currently have no idea what that will look like.

I am always interested in people’s reactions to my papers, from the very general to the very specific.  Any time you dedicate to engaging with my work is time that I will appreciate and (if appropriate) reciprocate.  If you’re considering joining me in the quest for philosophical clarity by dedicating the time and energy to read and comment upon my papers, I ask that you read this first.  I’d be honored by anyone who cared to help me out by consulting with me on these papers.

Besides philosophy, I geek out on politics, nutrition, cooking, coffee, opera and classical music.

I am pursuing a Ph.D. in philosophy at the Ohio State University, with a focus on moral philosophy.  My interests within moral philosophy are wide-ranging, from consequentialist normative ethics to central metaethical questions to the nature of the ideal state, but currently I am working on issues in the objectivity of morality.  Most specifically, I am currently pursuing a candidacy project dealing with role morality.  Outside of value theory, my interests include early modern, Nietzsche, and the metaphysics of art.Outside of philosophy, I am someone who takes his interests very seriously.  I read a lot, both “literary fiction” and genre fiction (mostly SF and fantasy). I play poker pretty seriously, and much of my non-philosophy time is taken up with various video games.
