Dr. Andrew Cling Emeritus Professor, Philosophy Contact 1310 Ben Graves DriveMorton HallRoom 220Huntsville, AL 35899 Campus Map 256.824.2334andrew.cling@uah.edu Biography Dr. Andrew D. Cling's research in philosophy is currently focused on questions in the theory of knowledge. In particular, he is interested in a family of ancient skeptical paradoxes that seem to show that some of our core assumptions about having reasons for belief and good standards for intellectual judgment are inconsistent. He is currently at work on a manuscript on the problem of the criterion and the epistemic regress problem, two of these ancient paradoxes. Dr. Cling's papers have appeared in such journals as Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Synthese, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophical Psychology.
