Jeremy David Fix

Jeremy David Fix is a PhD candidate in Philosophy. His dissertation is concerned with the explanatory relationship between the self-consciousness of human action and the normative standards that govern our action. In particular, he argues that the unique way in which we are subject to normative standards in action explains the unique moral and prudential content of those standards. Or, at least, he hopes to argue for that view. He has been a teaching fellow for classes on metaethics, the philosophy of law, issues related to self-consciousness and personal identity, philosophical issues about political liberty and equality, ancient metaphysics and epistemology, and Kant's ethical theory. He has led tutorials for junior concentrators in Philosophy on the metaphysics of action, the nature of self-consciousness and self-knowledge, contemporary Neo-Kantian moral philosophy, and the relationship between action and ethics. He holds an AB in Philosophy from Colgate University and an MA in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
