Information about Matthew
Research and Education
I`m taking a PhD in philosophy at the [contact detail removed] where I`m a member of Arché (the Philosophical Research Centre for Logic, Language, Metaphysics and Epistemology) and the principal investigator of the `Logic of Imagination` research project. My doctoral research (in association with the ERC-funded project `The Logic of Conceivability`) is to develop a semantics and logic of reality-oriented mental simulation.
I have an MLitt in philosophy from the University of St Andrews (Leverhume Scholarship), an MA in philosophy from the University of Leeds (Mangoletsi Scholarship in Theoretical Philosophy), and a BA in philosophy from the University of Leeds (Leverhume Scholarship). I have been president of the British Undergraduate Philosophy Society and Leeds University Philosophical Society, and editor of the British Journal of Undergraduate Philosophy and the Journal of Leeds University Philosophical Society.
Specialisms and Interests
My research specialisms are logic, philosophy of logic, and philosophical logic. My research interests include metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language.
Teaching and Tutoring
I`ve tutored university modules on logic (introductory, intermediate, and advanced), philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and history of philosophy. This has involved tuition, essay and exam marking, and moderation. I`ve tutored privately for over ten years, which has involved tuition, essay writing, essay marking, exam preparation, and university entrance.
I offer tuition in a number of different areas, from specific tuition in a variety of logics and philosophical topics through to general tuition in academic skills.
- Academic Skills: essay and dissertation planning, essay writing, essay assessment, exam preparation, proof reading, university applications, funding applications, and curriculum vitae preparations.
- Philosophy: philosophy of imagination, philosophy of logic, philosophy of philosophy, philosophy of language, formal semantics, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of mind, history of philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion.
- Logic: reasoning, informal logic, propositional logics, first-order logics (FOL), second-order logics, plural logics, modal logics (e.g., epistemic, temporal, etc.), set theory, proof theory (e.g., natural deduction, trees/tableaux, etc.), model theory, metalogic (e.g., soundness, completeness, etc.), logical modelling, and a variety of other strange and exotic logics.
Availability: I tutor around my research and other commitments, but just let me know when you`re available and we can work out a mutually convenient time/schedule.
