From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi! I'm a student of psychology and philosophy living in New York City. I am a long-time user but very new editor of Wikipedia.
In psychology, my interests include:
- The development of altruism, cooperation, and other pro-social behaviors
- The biological bases of normal and abnormal behavior
- Whether the existence and workings of human consciousness can ever be explained scientifically
- The psychological sequelae of human rights-related trauma (usually torture), and their treatment
- The ethical implications of strict adherence to a given theoretical orientation in a therapeutic setting
- The border between clinical and subclinical symptomology, especially in the personality disorders
In philosophy, I'm most interested in epistemology and philosophy of science. I identify closely with the philosophy of David Hume.
Please feel free to send me an e-mail.
