Buffy Scholar/Critic

Susan Stuart is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Glasgow. Her philosophy research interests are in the philosophy of mind, Kant's epistemology, ontology in general, and education and technology. She has published on the application of Kant's transcendental psychology to contemporary issues in cognitive science, deception, theories of mind and autism, the conditions for conscious agency, the ontology of digital objects, and on philosophy teaching in cyberspace. She is currently engaged in writing projects that include determining what constitutes a collection, whether Kant's theories about the employment of the cognitive imagination might be reconsidered as a resolution of some aspects of the binding problem, and the extraordinary range of ontologies in the Buffyverse.
