Welsh postgraduate in Philosophy

By Ryo ChonabayashiFri, 11/28/2008 - 11:51pm

Hi All,

Fiona Roxburgh encouraged the BPPA reps to introduce ourselves (sorry Fi for this sluggish response). I'm Ryo Chonabayashi, the rep for Cardiff University. I'm a second year PhD student, and I am working on naturalistic moral realism for my thesis.

I've got particular interests in metaethics (debate between realism and anti-realism) metaphysics (causation, natural kinds), and epistemology (explanation, inference to the best explanation) etc.

I apoligise for my bad English in advance, but let me post something in the near future.

Cheers,
Ryo
