About Me
i'm a graduate student in philosophy. i work at a coffee shop, and i work as the assistant to a political theorist making an archive of her papers, and i work as a TA, and i work as much as i can writing for grades and for my own satisfaction on various topics in ethics and metaphysics, particularly theories of agency and selfhood, and particularly as those theories inform ethics and the philosophy of law. this interest has led to others-- to wit, meta-ethics, moral psychology, action theory, philosophy of technology, and political philosophy (which is actually where i began). i'm keeping my blog (the net self) private at the moment, but i dislike having to do this. i hope you'll feel free to request approval to read it if you're interested, even very casually, and even if we don't know each other. it will be public again in the spring.
The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?
without pride, or gratitude, or regret. (and i would die, it now appears, from a mysterious skin fungus.)
