Brendan Cline, UB Philosophy Graduate Student

It seems that every few months the department is announcing a Brendan Cline publication and each time the paper is published in a more elite journal. His latest publication is in Philosophical Studies. Phil Studies is widely recognized as one of the top seven philosophy journals.  Brendan’s paper is entitled "Against Deliberative Indispensability as an Independent Guide to What There Is.”  

The paper responds to an argument for normative realism from David Enoch. The paper arose out of discussions in a reading group on meta ethics that Brendan and some other UB graduate students participated in last summer. Brendan delivered an abridged version of the paper as a Regent’s Lecture in Fall 2015 on meta-ethics. James Beebe is Brendan’s dissertation committee chair.
