I am a Regular (Tenured) Faculty Member in the Department of Philosophy at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and a Senior Fellow with the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy.

(To prevent confusion, I am not the person with the same name who goes around calling himself “personal Socrates”). You can find my work on the following platforms:

Before coming to KPU, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Trent University. I have a PhD in Philosophy from York University (2014), a PhD in Semiotics from the University of Quebec in Montreal (2008)—I was asked by Oxford to do an entry on that for their Bibliographies in Philosophy series—and did my Post-Doc at the University of Helsinki (2014–2015). My two PhDs mean that I am of mixed heritage, being a descendant of Quine, Ryle, and David Lewis on the “analytic” side, with Husserl, Heidegger, and Gadamer on the “continental” side (see my academic family tree).
He is surely one of the best philosophers in his generation in Canada.

Although I conduct my inquiries solely in English, I am also fluent in French and Joual (my native tongue). I was born in a working-class family near Montreal. I now reside on the outskirts of Vancouver, with my loving partner and our six beautiful children, living a low-tech lifestyle of hearty home-cooked meals, logical puzzles and board games at the kitchen table, nightly Québecois storytelling, and weekend farm or museum visits.
