Hello, my name is Adam Patterson.
I'm a Ph.D student in philosophy at Syracuse University. Before transferring to Syracuse, I earned an MA in philosophy from the University of Kentucky. Before Kentucky, I earned an MA in philosophy from Birkbeck College, University of London. |

While I was at the University of Kentucky, I was primarily interested in two topics--bad language (e.g., the semantics and pragmatics of slurs) and self-knowledge (e.g., whether it is compatible with externalism).
However, since arriving at Syracuse my interests have extended to include issues concerning the metaphysics and ethics of death (e.g., the value of death, the rationality of the fear of death) and well-being (among other things). On this site, you can find my CV and a way to reach me. Paper drafts are found (for now) exclusively on my academia.edu page. In real life, you can find me and my fiancé Evelyn either outside doing fun things or inside drinking coffee while reading and/or writing. |
