that's really interesting. seems like an unusual path, but you must have learned so much. what i wonder about the most is: how much freedom do you now have to research what you want? and kind of related: do you find yourself researching other topics in philosophy and logic in your free time as a result of a lack of freedom?
Great questions. Right now, I'd say I have huge amounts of freedom in what I research, within philosophy & logic. I've written 4 books on different topics, and I'm starting a new one on something completely unrelated. The restrictions I find are more to do with time: teaching and admin duties take up about 75% of my work time, so much more than research time. Outside work, I do lots of reading on stuff I enjoy: politics, environment, religion etc. Some of that might end up as research down the line - I hope so!
@@AtticPhilosophy thanks for the answers! that was really insightful (especially the time restriction). it's funny how almost all jobs seem to have this effect on time. but still in many ways you are living the dream. sorry for the really late response. your reply was very memorable, but it somehow slipped my mind until now
Thank you. Great video. Very helpful to me as I finish a second master's degree and look for the right school to begin my PhD.
Glad it was helpful!

Coming from a cross-discipline background this was super helpful. How did you choose your PhD topic?
Thanks 💓
