About Robert

Hello!

I'm Robert and I am an experienced philosophy lecturer and tutor. I have a PhD in philosophy and a first-class honours degree in Arts with a double-major in philosophy and a minor in Classical Greek.

I have taught at two different universities in Australia: the University of Notre Dame Australia, and Macquarie University. All in all, I have taught philosophy full-time for over seven years and part-time for almost ten years.

I have taught large lectures to small seminars and tutorial groups and one on one teaching which is an area I excel in. My specialties are Critical Thinking and Argumentation, Philosophy of Religion, Free Will, Epistemology and Philosophy of Language

My approach is 'Socratic' - I teach by questioning. And this is not just quoting an ancient philosopher --- it really works!

Socrates likened himself to a midwife- a philosophical midwife to help people give birth to their ideas. The assumption behind this is that- you already know and understand, you just need someone to awaken you a little to find the answer in your head.

This method is gentle but powerful. I will not swamp you with information like a lecture but will pace our conversations where I know when to move on by what you say.

Fundamentally I love to help people think better since a good philosophy teacher does not tell you what to think, but how to think. And it rubs off.

Because of my emphasis on teaching rigour in reasoning, I can help non-philosophy students think better about their own disciplines; write powerful argumentative essays with clear expression.

One of my favourite quotes comes from the philosopher of language John Searle,"If you can't say it clearly enough, you really don't understand it."

I can help you both understand and write clearly at the same time because they are two sides of the same coin.
