Bio

[edit]

I am a 22 year old college graduate who lives and works in the Northeast. Although I have a busy schedule, I am consistently more and more interested in Wikipedia and other Wiki-projects and so I am trying to get myself more familiar and more involved as a somewhat-active member of the community. I don't really like cell-phones, or phones of any kind. Peace and quiet and solitude suit me fine now that college is over.

Interests

[edit]

Although I was educated at the College of Wooster, at which the philosophy department is largely dedicated to the Analytic tradition, I maintain a broad interest that transcends the analytic/continental boundary - limited only by my distaste for Plato and Ayn Rand. My Junior Thesis was a Kantian critique of development aid, and my Senior Thesis was the critical development of a Heideggerian philosophical theology. Thus, most of my contributions to Wikipedia are to be found in places where philosophy or a specific theory is at issue. In addition, I am a dedicated editor and so clear, well written articles are my end goal, regardless of the time it takes, or whether it is my writing that is poor instead of another's.

Recognition

The Barnstar of High Culture
Thank you for your great contributions to Kyoto school. I placed it on the WikiProject Philosophy Things-to-do list, and less than a month later I see that you have significantly improved and expanded the article. Thank you for all your contributions, and keep up the good work! Nishkid64 17:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
