 Marc Champagne
PhD student in Philosophy My scholarly labours have thus far centered on opening up hitherto unnoticed avenues of theoretical reflection in epistemology, philosophy of mind, semiotics, and general philosophy of science. Topics I have addressed in this manner include the nature of consciousness, logical inference, arguments for metaphysical realism and anti-scepticism, the causal and discursive mechanisms whereby knowledge claims (scientific or otherwise) come to be justified, alternative approaches to the study of meaning, cognitive ethology, informational theories of concepts, and the ramifications of embodiment for agency, perception, and normativity. I am (proudly) conversant with the "analytic" and "continental" traditions—and still more. Major figures I am interested in (and/or indebted to) include Aristotle, Charles Sanders Peirce, John McDowell, Friedrich Nietzsche, John Deely, Karl Popper, Ned Block, Fred Dretske, Ayn Rand, Daniel Dennett, John Duns Scotus, Arthur Schopenhauer, Stathis Psillos, Shaun Gallagher, Epicurus, Ludwig Wittgenstein, John Poinsot, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Pierre Abélard. |
