Research Interests
Dr. Fox is interested in philosophy from the early part of the 20th century, which attempts to use results from science, mathematics and logic to inform its results. One of the most important philosophers from this period was Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). He researches Wittgenstein's work as well as relates this work to other areas of philosophy, such as logic and the philosophy of art.
