Yosef E. Washington

My areas of expertise are Metaphysics, Philosophy of Social Science, Social and Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Race.

My research takes insights and methodologies from Social Science and Social Metaphysics to better clarify the role "metaphysical" concepts like "supervenience" , "causation" and "identity" inform not only our thinking in both the natural and social sciences, but also our normative thinking about the nature of institutions and conceptions of justice and moral and political obligation.
