This is a blog on which I’ll post thoughts, suggestions, whims, etc., related to my work and other interests in and around philosophy – particularly regarding philosophy of religion, religious studies, theology, deconstruction, philosophy of science, OOP, politics, and music.

I’m Michael Norton. I received a PhD in philosophy from Villanova in 2011, and I currently live in Irving, TX (near Dallas).
