Rogers Albrittton UCLA Branch of Philosophy

Rogers was not generally interested in main stream philosophy such as ethics and other topics dealing with social and political philosophy. His main focus was to shift his attention to knowledge, thoughts processes, and validity within such methods of obtaining knowledge or if the knowledge itself was valid. Albritton was especially interested in the main concept of being,time, space, etc. This led his decision to focus on metaphysics and epistemology.Freedom and free will were big staples of his philosophies. This shaped his philosophies and studies further into his life. (Calvin Normore UC)
