President - Michael Fitzpatrick
Michael Fitzpatrick is a senior at Chico State, double majoring in Philosophy and English Language and Literature. Michael has studied philosophy for over a decade, and is interested in worldviews and belief systems, and how they are formed.
Michael's work tends to focus on epistemology and metaphysics, analyzing how we know reality and our relationship to it. He is also interested in the connection between philosophy and literature, specifically literature's ability to deal with philosophical problems in an almost experimental manner.
Michael's goals include completing a M.A. in English Literature and going to a good doctoral program for Philosophy. He someday hopes to teach in both fields. Favorite Quote: "Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning." (C.S. Lewis)
Vice President - Chris Buchanan Site Editor
Hello, I am Chris Buchanan. I study philosophy and it is quite wonderful. I am interested in ideas of justice and ethics. The two potentially overlap in some interesting ways.
The plan is to attend graduate school and get my PhD. I can then subvert college students much like myself with my wild teaching skills.
My font is red because I have put in the effort to figure out how to change font color; I am determined to reap the rewards of my hard earned knowledge.
Secretary - Tim Center
The point of a bio has traditionally been to clearly state some basic facts about a person-including, but not limited to: their origin, past, present, future, goals, interests, etc.
The following is not in conformity with the former. Tim Center is an x such that, if there is a y that intrigues x, then x contemplates and analyzes y in order to determine z-and y's relation to x
(as well as the derivation of z)-because the caveat is the hypotenuse: x2 + y2 = z2.
Accordingly, philosophy-as well as the meaning of life-for Tim, is the constant calculation of such equations. (This, of course, does not necessarily have to make sense!)
Treasurer- Luke
Luke Adams is a senior majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Religious Studies.
Philosophical interests include the pursuit of logic and attempting to hold onto reason within a chaotic world, the study of aesthetics and attempting to find and understand beauty,
and the study of consciousness and attempting to understand the wonders of the mind.
