Harman, thank you for taking the "quiz" (survey). The feedback provided by the quiz after you submit answers helps explain the "weird" questions. Questions like this are sometimes used in philosophy classes to stimulate thought. I''ll be touching on this in the presentation.

Profile Summary

I have experience in sales, technical writing, network engineering, and teaching.

In recent years, most of my work has been for online schools, as an instructor and course designer. I have designed and/or taught courses in Ethics, Business Ethics, Globalization, and Introduction to Philosophy.
I worked in several areas of engineering and technology, including some assignments as a technical writer and a software salesman, before earning my Ph.D. in Philosophy from CUNY in 1999. I run two websites and a blog. Pages from my websites are used by several schools as part of their course materials.

I am currently doing research for a new book, which will probably focus on environmental ethics.
