About

ABOUT

My research area is in Early Modern Philosophy, especially the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

I have published on Leibniz's theories of modality, freedom, and divine agency. I am currently working on two projects. The first reconstructs Leibniz's view of divine simplicity and the second attempts to reconcile counter-factual analyses (both human and divine) for Leibniz with the doctrine of superessentialism.

I also have diverse teaching competencies, including Ethics, the Philosophy of Religion, Metaphysics, and Asian Philosophies.

TEACHING

I love getting my students excited about philosophy. To do this, I let them know that they belong and I make the material relatable by breaking it down and connecting it to what really matters. Look below to see what some of them have had to say.

Teaching Statement

Introduction to Philosophy, Autumn 2022 OSU

I have never had a teacher so passionate about a class/topic. Dylan really wants everyone to do well and uses very simple and straight forward teaching strategies to do so...His aptitude for the subject matter and his relatableness made all the topics seem within reach to many students.
