Dr. Seuss and Philosophy - Jacob M. Held [156]
Eric N. Wilson is a recent graduate of philosophy and linguistics at the University of Central Arkansas. Prior to working with Jacob M. Held he acted as an assistant editor for STANCE: International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal, deciding to test the waters of academic philosophy firsthand. Most of his time there was spent mulling over papers in epistemology and philosophy of mind. Currently Eric is enjoying a stay in the Waiting Place, but he won’t be there long. He’s just that type of guy.
