Philosophy

I started this website back in 2012 by posting all the elements from my first edition of Evolutionary Philosophy, which I self-published in paperback and e-book formats at the same time. These writings represent a broad summary of the philosophical thoughts I had been developing as a hobby for decades, but was then hoping to use for a new career. They still make an excellent starting place to understand what it means to have an evolutionary philosophy. You can navigate the site's headings or follow the links below to read more about these:
  1. Basic tenets that underlie evolutionary philosophy;
  2. Attempts to "know thyself" through systematic exploration;
  3. Analyses of the survival of the fittest philosophers; and
  4. Appendices that attempt to explain in layperson's terms some basic definitions in Evolution 101 and Philosophy 101.

Since the original publication of this site, I've written many later works to expand and evolve these ideas. You can navigate the site's headings or follow the links below to catch up on the most important pieces since 2012. They include:
  1. A paper published in a peer-reviewed journal which proposes an answer to the greatest question in moral philosophy;
  2. Categorized lists of my greatest blog hits; and
  3. Articles I've written for other magazines and websites, as well as some pieces written by others about my work.

I continue to write philosophy essays regularly, and plan to do so for the foreseeable future. Someday, I'd even like to reissue a much-expanded second edition of Evolutionary Philosophy using all of the knowledge I'm gaining by writing here and in other locations. Please use the button on the right-hand side of the page to sign up to my mailing list and receive notices for all my future writing.
