Hi! You've reached the personal page of Amy Lara, Assistant Professor of philosophy at Kansas State. My research interests are in ethical theory and moral psychology. Recently, I've started working on the ethics of scientific communication. In particular, I'm trying to figure out if a Kantian moral view interferes with effective scientific communication, and if so, what should be done about it. Currently, I'm a member of a group of philosophers and scientists who are studying the ethical beliefs scientists have about communicating with the public. Our plan is to develop a curriculum for teaching the ethics of scientific communication to graduate students in the sciences.

 


Here is my CV


Here are class descriptions for my classes in Fall, 2008:


Here are some of my favorite philosophy links:

The Garden of Forking Paths
An excellent website and blog for anyone interested in free will issues.
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
The best resource for any philosophical question you might have.
The Philosophical Gourmet Report
A must-see if you are considering a graduate degree in philosophy.
