Christopher B. Kulp
Ph.D., Vanderbilt University, 1986
Christopher B. Kulp is the author of The End of Epistemology (1992), and the editor of Realism/Antirealism and Epistemology (1997). His current research centers on metaethics and moral epistemology, with a special emphasis on moral intuitionism and moral metaphysics. His recent book, Knowing Moral Truth: A Theory of Metaethics and Moral Knowledge (2017), is the first in a projected quadrilogy on metaethics and moral epistemology. It argues that (i) there are moral truths and moral facts independent of what any society or any individual judges to be the case; and (ii) we have genuine knowledge of many of them. His second book in the series, Metaphysics of Morality (2019), is an inquiry into the metaphysical foundations of morality, which develops a realist theory of moral truth, moral facts, and moral properties. The third book in the projected quadrilogy, Varieties of Moral Knowledge, is written and under revision for submission for review for publication. He is currently writing the fourth book in the series, Non-Naturalist Moral Realism: A Metaphysical and Epistemological Defense. During fall quarter, he will teach PHIL 34: Ethics and Adulthood, as well as an upper-division course in his area of specialization, PHIL 128: Metaethics.
