My name is Philip Ruetz. In May, 2001 I graduated magna cum laude from Central Michigan University, with a B.S. in philosophy. In September, 2001 I began work toward the Ph D. in philosophy at the University of Rochester. The essays that you'll find on this site were all written when I was an undergraduate. Thus, most of them aren't very recent, or what you might call my best work. I don't have much time these days to revise them, however. So, for the time being, they'll have to stand as they are. When I'm not doing philosophy, I like to build guitar amps! To leave me a message, please click HERE Here I am, hard at, um... work, at my old job......... (Hey, "Crazy Train" came on the radio, I couldn't help myself!)
