Welcome. On this site, you will find information about my educational background, publications, work-in-progress, courses I teach, and whatever else seems relevant from time to time.
Educational Background
I received my B.A. in Philosophy from the University of
California, Berkeley and my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor.
I studied a lot of history of philosophy while at
Berkeley, especially Ancient Greek philosophy, and also ethical theory.
At Michigan I further pursued study of ethical theory and specialized
in early Chinese philosophy, especially the ethical views of the early
Confucian, Mencius.
I wrote my dissertation on ethical theory and moral
psychology in the thought of the early Confucian, Mencius.
I have formal training in Ancient Greek, Latin, and
Classical
Chinese; I speak some Mandarin and Korean, as well.
