From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My name is Jeremy Pierce, and I have a weblog called Parableman. I am a Ph.D. student in philosophy at Syracuse University, and I teach philosophy courses at Syracuse University and Le Moyne College. My areas of specialization for my Ph.D. work have been metaphysics, philosophy of race, and philosophy of religion. My current dissertation work is on the metaphysical issues of racial classification, and I have published work on God's relation to time. My other areas of competence in undergraduate teaching are ethics (applied, theory, and history), epistemology, and the history of philosophy (the ancient, medieval, and early modern periods). I have done particular research in the areas of personal identity, persistence through time, material constitution, the nature of time, vagueness, arguments for and against the existence of God, determinism and freedom, foreknowledge and freedom, affirmative action, abortion, Plato, the Stoics, Augustine, and Leibniz.
