Louis Doulas

I’m currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine.

My main research interests are in the history of 19th-20th century analytic philosophy as well as various topics in epistemology and metaphysics. I also have interests in aesthetics, the philosophy of language, and philosophical methodology.

I did my MA in Philosophy at Brandeis University and my BFA in Studio Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In between those degrees, before finding my way to philosophy, I worked as an editor and writer in New York, mostly writing about art influenced by the internet.
