"Greetings! I’m R. Patrick Withee and I’ve recently graduated from Sacramento State with a B. A. in Philosophy with an emphasis on Logic and the Philosophy of Science.

My main focus is on late 19th-20th Century British/American Epistemology (study of knowledge), Logic, Philosophy of Science, and Metaphysics/Foundations of Philosophy. My areas of competence include Early Modern Philosophy, including David Hume, Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Bertrand Russell, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and others.

I also have competence in Ancient Greek Philosophy, specifically Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates.

I have taken two undergraduate level Logic courses covering the following topics: Propositional Logic, Predicate/First Order Logic, Modal Logic, some Set Theory, some Probability Theory, Syntax/Semantics, Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems, and Russell’s Paradox.

I am currently working on developing an Logic based on extension of Probability Theory, but need a Graduate course in Meta-Logic to complete it.

I have a broad general philosophy education including Philosophy of Religion, Political Philosophy, contemporary British/American Ethics, Metaphysics, Ethics and Social Issues, and others.

Feel free to contact me anytime! I respond to emails quickly and consistently, and am glad to welcome any questions, comments, recommendations and/or concerns.

I look forward to the opportunity to gain experience and make an impact in the field I’ve come to love." less...
