About

I am a professor who teaches primarily political theory and philosophy and writes about the same. I am also a novelist who writes mysteries. You can find information about my various writing projects here as well as a blog.

I am also a Roman Catholic, though not a very good one. Philosophically I think Aristotle and especially Thomas Aquinas got it fundamentally right, though I am not consistent (or tiresome) enough for this to be obvious in most of my writing.

Politically I am a proud and unwavering member of Leszek Kolakowski’s Conservative-Liberal-Socialist International.
