By David Brown | Posted at 12:0:57
The Lindenwood Philosophy Department is a healthy and growing department that now has three professors with diverse specialities, offering students the opportunity to sample the world of philosophy in many interesting ways.
 | David S. Brown, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy and Philosophy Department Chair. Dr. Brown earned his B.A. (magna cum laude) from Gordon College, his M.A. from the University of Houston, and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. His dissertation is entitled: The Moral Sense in Hume's Treatise and Cicero's De Officiis. His publications include: “A Puzzle for Particulars” with Richard Davis (Axiomathes, 2008); “Cicero's De Officiis: Ancient Ethics for (Post-) Modern Times” (Teaching Philosophy, 2002); and “Patricia Kitcher and Kant's 'Real Self” (Southwest Philosophy Review, 1997). Dr. Brown won the 2007 Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award. |
| Rachel Douchant, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Philosophy. She earned her B.A. in philosophy from Lindenwood University and her M.A. in philosophy from St. Louis University. |  |
 | Prof. Michael Carper is a professor who has not submitted biographical information, so the humble webmaster will just make some stuff up. He's a leading candidate in the 2008 presidential election, running on a platform of “philosophy in every mind.” He promises to ensure universal access to Plato and work to end stupidity. According to a recent CNN-USA Today poll, he placed 58% higher in the polls than all of the minor, forgotten candidates combined. He has been endorsed by Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther and Karl Barth. According to Barth, “this is the right man for the job, the right time to get the job done and the right time to acknowledge I am not evil.” For more information visit www.michaelcarper2008.org . |
