3 Teaching Philosophy

My approach to teaching philosophy centers on three commitments: argument, narrative, and collaboration. I believe students learn philosophical reasoning best when abstract problems are made concrete through story and interactive engagement.

The use of D&D-style adventure sessions in my courses is not merely a pedagogical novelty. It reflects a view that philosophy is essentially a collaborative, high-stakes activity β€” one where positions must be defended under pressure, where objections arrive unexpectedly, and where the quality of your reasoning determines the outcome.
