Abstract
"I am a philosopher/scientist and a dedicated interdisciplinary educator who brings together the sciences and humanities in every research project I undertake, making science a person-centered pursuit. Striving to model inclusivity in my work while maintaining the highest standards of rigor, I have attempted to incorporate questions raised by Expanded Reason while engaging in a methodology that champions (inter)subjectivity, a view of the individual that is generous and open, an aspiration to achieving objective truth that moves beyond empiricism seen as naïve realism, and a commitment to doing meaningful, good work in science, the humanities, and the arts in service of living a meaningful, good life in community.
My book, Being and Showtime, was published in late-2020 by Sawbuck Books. The book is an attempt to engage in Expanded Reason in a creative and interactive way. Ostensibly a book on philosophy, the text brings together work in the sciences (especially physics and biology), aesthetics, religion, art, and various other disciplines. The overriding goal of the book is to suggest that there is an art as well as a science and philosophy to being a person, and that when we engage in asking “The Big Questions,” we must do so in a way that expands the notion of rational argumentation to include a place at the table for various disciplines and modes of inquiry. Toward this end, the book itself is not merely a text to read but an object to be2 performed, demanding that the reader use all of her/his senses while interacting with the book
and enacting the arguments therein."
