Biography

I started reading philosophy in 1978 at the age of fifteen. I achieved a B.A. in Philosophy in 1993 and a M.A. in Political Science in 2001, both from the University of Calgary. I am extremely well read on a wide variety of topics which allows me to look at things from many different perspectives simultaneously. I’m used to dealing with multiple realities which involves comparing contrasting interpretations. What I do best is to connect the dots no matter how far afield. My first book is ‘A Map of the Moral World: Original Ideas in Modal Ontology, Metaethics, and on the Nature of Evil.’ I will quickly follow it up with ‘A History of the Ideologies of the Welfare State with Special Reference to Canada.’

The modal operators of possibility and necessity are added together to create a complete list of ontological categories, offering a new definition of simulations, and a look at Heidegger’s concept of ‘authenticity.’ It discusses metaethics and the nature of evil, offering a definition of evil and one of self-deception, then uses Nietzsche as both an example and a grand theory of corruption.
