Research Interests & Profile
Interested in behavioral influences, cultural trends, and the genetic predispositions involved in moral decision making. In particular, a comprehensive social cause and effect analysis on how moral relativism/realism can lead to ethical relativism/realism. A more comprehensive understanding of these origins and influences will greatly aid attempts to improve personal, cultural, religious and international relationships to better delineate pathways to resolution.
Interested in further development of scientific-based atomism and how that understanding of human nature, and living beings both sentient and non-sentient, can have a transcendental affect/effect on humans and everything we perceive around us. The theory being developed is called Transcendental Atomism. It is generally based on combined Democritus/Aristotlean/Taoist holistic philosophies of the universe and their affect/effect on our perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors applied to the Kantian tradition of developed moral norms and accepted ethics.
