The Excitement of Crossing Boundaries

This is an intellectual autobiography that aims to explain how I am both an analytic philosopher who writes on\udquestions of moral relativism and pluralism and also on classical Confucianism and Daoism. I have written on\udthe subjects of moral psychology and moral epistemology, articulating what I see to be a fruitful consilience\udbetween insights of both Confucian and Daoist thinkers and some of the latest findings in psychology and\udneuroscience. I regard as synergistic and completely logical this combination of interests, but many find it\udsurprising, so I identify the experiences and influences that brought me to where I am now
