(...or at least for you to meet me, I guess.)
I'm Caleb (he/him/his). I like going on hikes, playing games, watching movies, traveling, and trying new foods and beer.
My primary academic interests are logic, computability theory, analysis, and more recently, metaphysics, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind. I currently have two projects, one fairly specific and the other much more broad. The specific project concerns infinitary modal logics and their relation to the semantics of conditionals. The broad project (which aims to become my philosophy dissertation) concerns the semantics of the first-person pronoun, the concept and ontological status of the self, and what it would take for an artificial intelligence (AI) to have/hold/grasp such a concept. In addition to these, I have a growing pedagogical interest in Latin American philosophy, especially the metaphysical themes found within. In the past, I also worked on the computable structure theory of continuous logic and had a small project on first-degree entailment, a type of relevant/relevance logic.
I've been inspired to study the mysteries of existence and experience by Plato, Descartes, Turing, Gödel, Casteñeda, Chisholm, Lewis, Nagel, and Graff Fara. And I've been inspired to enjoy existence and experience by my parents, my friends, my cat (Luna), my puppy (Guinness), and my wonderful wife, Zyanya.
