Troy Seagraves earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Purdue University in 2024. His research focuses on how we are rationally permitted to act and believe given our commitments and values. One’s commitment to a worldview may influence how one inquires just as one’s commitment to a friend may influence how one acts. Troy is also interested in the virtues and vices related to how we respond to felt inadequacies. For example, one may fail and (virtuously) be motivated to improve or (viciously) slip into the snares of self-hatred.
