As previously announced, /r/philosophy is hosting an AMA series this
fall semester which kicked off with AMAs by Caspar Hare (MIT), Kevin
Scharp, Kenneth Ehrenberg, Geoff Pynn and the Wi-Phi: Wireless
Philosophy team. Check out our series announcement post to see all the
upcoming AMAs this semester. We continue our series this upcoming Monday
with an AMA by Stephen Puryear (NCSU). Hear it from him: Stephen Puryear
I am an assistant professor of philosophy and affiliate of the Classical
Studies program at NC State. Before arriving in Raleigh in 2008, I
earned my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh (2006) and
spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. My
research interests include early modern philosophy and the German
philosophical tradition, especially Leibniz, Kant, and Schopenhauer, as
well as historical and contemporary work in metaphysics, ethics, and
political philosophy. Much of my published work concerns the philosophy
of Leibniz, but I have also written about Berkeley's idealism,
Schopenhauer's moral philosophy, Frege's philosophy of language, and the
metaphysics of space and time. My main project at present is a book on
Leibniz. Besides that, I continue to think about various topics in
Schopenhauer's philosophy, especially his ethics; in moral and political
philosophy (obligation, consent, rights, normative theories, animal
ethics, etc.); and in metaphysics (infinity, continuity, space, time,
etc.). Much of my published work concerns the philosophy of Leibniz, but
I have also written about Berkeley's idealism, Schopenhauer's moral
philosophy, Frege's philosophy of language, and the metaphysics of space
and time. My main project at present is a book on Leibniz. Besides that,
I continue to think about various topics in Schopenhauer's philosophy,
especially his ethics; moral and political philosophy (obligation,
consent, rights, normative theories, animal ethics, etc.); and
metaphysics (infinity, continuity, space, time, etc.). For more on my
published work, see my publications page. Some published papers:
``Schopenhauer on the Rights of Animals'' ``Finitism and the Beginning
of the Universe'' ``Finitism, Divisibility, and the Beginning of the
Universe: Replies to Loke and Dumsday'' ``Leibniz on the Metaphysics of
Color'' ``Frege on Vagueness and Ordinary Language'' ``Monadic
Interaction'' AMA Professor Puryear will join us Monday for a couple
hours of live Q\&A on their research interests on Monday at noon. Please
feel free to post questions for him here. He will look at this thread
before they start and begin with some questions from here while the
initial questions in the new thread come in. Please join me in welcoming
Professor Puryear to our community!%
