About

I write on aesthetics and moral perfectionist thought, with particular focus on the work of Wittgenstein, Cavell, Emerson, and Confucian thinkers. A volume on Wittgenstein's aspect-seeing remarks for which I am contributing co-editor (with Victor J. Krebs), Seeing Wittgenstein Anew, is in production with Cambridge UP and scheduled for release in early 2010. When I attend meetings of the American Society for Aesthetics I transmogrify into the pianist for their resident jazz group Aesthetic Attitude.
