‘Engaged Reading’
Here I argue that engaged reading is integral to intellectual growth in philosophy. I also develop a tool for supporting student efforts to engage the reading assigned in a course.
‘Balancing Content’
Here I argue for a specific way of understanding the challenge of balancing content coverage and skill building. I follow up by offering a system for achieving balance in one’s course design and pedagogy in philosophy.
‘Psychopaths as Moral Failures’
Here I argue for the view that psychopaths are morally responsible and, in some cases, worthy of blame.
