Research Interest
Metaphysics
Jason Turner is a philosopher. (Does that clear it up?) He received his PhD from Rutgers University in 2008 before going to work at the University of Leeds, St. Louis University, University of Arizona, and now Notre Dame. He thinks a lot about metaphysics and philosophical logic, but is secretly interested in everything. He has published work on modality, free will, the philosophy of religion, the structure of mental content, and the metaphysics of quantities. Currently he's very interested in the metaphysics of physics. He will probably continue to dabble like this until someone makes him stop.
