Scott Casleton

I am a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. I work in political philosophy, ethics, and the history of philosophy. Before coming to Berkeley, I did my B.A. in philosophy and religious studies at Yale.

For more information about my academic work, see my Berkeley home page, or my PhilPeople page.

In addition to studying philosophy, I occasionally contribute to magazines that cover politics and culture. You can find links to this work below.
