Picture
My name is Samuel A. Taylor. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tuskegee University. I received my PhD in August of 2013. Before coming to Tuskegee, I previously taught at the University of Minnesota - Duluth and Auburn University.  Throughout my courses I treat the study of philosophy within the university not just as a means to developing important career skills (which it certainly does) but also, just as importantly, critical to one's own development as a person. Please visit my teaching pages to learn more about my approach to teaching.

My research focuses on issues in epistemology but overlaps with a number of issues in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and ethics. Much of my work investigates the roles that consciousness and attention play in a proper account of epistemic rationality, and connections to the role of epistemic agency in explaining the value of knowledge and justification. I have also recently become interested in a number of issues surrounding both intellectual humility and epistemic injustice.

Outside of philosophy I have a variety of interests including an obsession with board games -- honestly, I probably own (and play) more board games than many people even know exist. I also love simply spending time doing anything with my wife, Hannah, and our two children Nora (2 years) and Malcolm (3 months)!
