P.D. Magnus

In addition to loving wisdom, I am a philosopher by vocation. I am an assistant professor at the University at Albany, State University of New York. I previously taught at UC San Diego (where I received my PhD) and at Bowdoin College.

My primary research is in the philosophy of science, motivated broadly by a falliblist but non-sceptical conception of scientific knowledge. I am interested in the structure of science: What are theories? When and how should we choose between them? Much of my work has opposed the idea that there are monolithic answers to such questions.

This website is a collection of documents and folderol from my philosophical career.
