What's the
latest?
After a very hectic academic year, I've found the time to update
my site. Aside from some general tidying and updating, I've added some new stuff. In particular, I've put up a couple of recent papers and added some stuff to the running section of the "Other Interests" section, which detail my sometimes painful adventures in marathons in Chicago and London.

 Here I am, trying very hard to avoid getting down to work. Maybe I could straighten up the books in my library. |
I'm professor of philosophy at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. My research is in the history of early modern philosophy (17th and 18th centuries), with a special focus on the philosophy of mathematics in that period. I'm interested in issues concerning the evolution of concepts of rigorous demonstration, debates over the nature of the infinite, and accounts of the ontology and epistemology of mathematics. Aside from the mathematics, I'm interested in early modern philosophy of religion (perhaps a result of having read too much Hobbes and Spinoza). I also have an interest in current debates on the rational basis of religious belief.
