Dr. Guy Axtell is Assistant Professor in the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department, and serves as the critical thinking coordinator of Radford University's new Core A curriculum. He received his Ph.D. in the East/West comparative program at University of Hawai’i, and his main teaching interests are in epistemology and metaphysics, philosophy of science, “STS” or science, technology and society studies, and philosophy of religion. JanusBlog: the Virtue Theory Discussion Forum has links to many of his recent and forthcoming papers in his research areas of epistemology and analytic and comparative philosophy of religion. When not teaching or writing, “Dr. Ax” often seeks his ataraxia through biking, tennis, skiing, windsurfing, and curiously speaking about himself in the third person. Ataraxia: Ancient Greek term for psychic balance and “freedom from disquiet.”
