Marc A. Moffett

Associate Professor of Philosophy

University of Texas, El Paso

My research interests are in metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language with cognate interests in philosophical linguistics and philosophical logic. Most recently I have been working on general issues concerning the epistemology of value as well as the nature of presentational cognitions and their epistemological significance.
