Rodd Rothwell

I am a retired academic with interests in philosophy and areas of psychology. I have taken a sceptical approach to all my studies which includes areas such as religion, philosophy of mind and consciousness, and philosophy of science. I have also so taught in the psychology of disability. My intellectual heroes include the Russian philosopher/psychologist L S Vygotsky (Vygotskii), J P Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir, Luce Irigaray, Spinoza and American philosophers John Dewey, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, Donald Davidson and Arthur Danto. My hobbies include plant collection, fish keeping and travel. This site will mainly deal with controversial issues relating to religion (from and atheist perspective) and science.
