Hello there, you have arrived at my user page. Not a whole lot to look at, but I guess I can provide you with a few words to read. I have been visiting wikipedia for years, however, I have just started to make contributions recently. The main areas that I look to make contributions to are topics related to philosophy and anime/manga. I feel qualified in philosophy because I have a B.S. in philosophy and I am currently working on my Ph.D.  My main areas of interest are:


 * Modern Period History: In specific the British Empiricists (Bacon, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume), Rationalists (Descartes and Spinoza), and Thomas Reid.


 * Ethical Theory: Primarily more contemporary ethical theory (Parfit, Scanlon, Kagan, and Kamm), but I am fairly well versed in select figures from the history of ethics (Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Mill, and James).
 * Philosophy of Religion: This is pretty broad, but is restricted to Western Religions. I am interested in the different arguments for the existence of God, the Problem of Evil, the Trinity and Incarnation, and the tie between Religion and Morality.

I am also interested in a number of anime and manga series. I tend to pay the most attention to currently running series such as:


 * Bleach
 * One Piece
 * HunterXHunter
 * Naruto
 * Fairy Tail
 * Full Metal Alchemist
 * D.Gray-Man

The majority of the work I do on articles is copy editing (clarity, spelling and grammar issues), finding and adding references, and discussing on talk pages possible improvements to articles.

That is all for now. Thanks for visiting!


 * Topics I am currently gathering research for:


 * Thomas Reid
 * Francis Bacon's Four Idols


 * My Sandbox
