Philosophy, Science, Stoicism

I am an author, blogger, podcaster, as well as the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. My academic work is in evolutionary biology, philosophy of science, the nature of pseudoscience, and practical philosophy. I publish a regular column in Philosophy Now entitled “The Art of Living.” My books include How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life (Basic Books) and Nonsense on Stilts: How to Tell Science from Bunk (University of Chicago Press). My latest is Beyond Stoicism: A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers (with Greg Lopez and Meredith Kunz, The Experiment). I write the Figs in Winter newsletter over at Substack.
