Eric Marcus

Professor, Department of Philosophy, Auburn University

My first book, Rational Causation (Harvard University Press 2012), has been reviewed in Analysis (Sara Worley), The Journal of Moral Philosophy (John Schwenkler), The Philosophers’ Magazine (Clayton Littlejohn), Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews (James A. Montmarquet), Metapsychology (George Tudorie) and Reason Papers (Bernardo Aguilera). Analysis has also published a précis, Kieran Setiya’s portion of an APA session on Rational Causation and my reply. An interview, part of the New Books in Philosophy podcast series, is here.

A new book, Belief, Inference, and the Self-Conscious Mind is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
