Newbie Introduction

[Philosophy Guy]

Well,

I have focused on a couple areas so far in my work. After my 4 yr BA I completed work in applied ethics. my graduate work is focused around contemporary analytic philosophy in the wake of Leibniz. My thesis is in the discipline of metaphysics relating to the philosophy of religion, philosophy of science, and free will.

As far as philosophy I find hard to digest would be the french continentals and popular philosophy like Zizek (although his book the indivisible remainder is apparently one of the best takes on Schelling around).

I have never been too fond of Nietzsche's philosophy although his writing, like you said, is moving. Im not sure if you have read much Schelling, but that is a difficult philosopher to get through but I find him awfully interesting.

What is your experience in philosophy?

I'm a PhD from Fordham University, I work in virtue epistemology, specifically on understanding. Schelling is definitely interesting in how he took Kant and made him more consistent, if that's even possible. You're definitely working in an interesting field. Good luck when it comes time for the job market, it sucks right now, fewest job postings in the APA's Jobs for Philosophers in 30 or so years. Maybe the situation in Canada is better, but it stinks here.
