Episode Details

Justin Clarke-Doane is a philosopher at Columbia University.  He is also a Periodic Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham, UK, and an Adjunct Research Associate at Monash University, Australia.  His work centres on metaphysical and epistemological problems surrounding apparently a priori, or 'armchair', inquiry, like mathematical, logical, moral and modal inquiry.  He is the author of Morality and Mathematics (Oxford University Press, 2020), Mathematics and Metaphilosophy (Cambridge University Press, 2022), and various articles.  The Philosopher's Annual selected his articles as among the "ten best in philosophy" in 2013 and 2015.  In addition to his primary areas of research, he has written on the mind-body problem, the philosophy of physics, and (with Kathryn Tabb) free will and psychopathology.
