Jeffrey Kaplan
Jeffrey Kaplan received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2018, during which time he also taught philosophy at San Quentin State Prison through the Prison University Project. Before that, he received his MPhil from the University of Cambridge and his BA from Williams College. Much of his research focuses on the question, ‘In exactly what sense are human-created systems of rules normative and how does their normativity constrain theories of them?’ The ‘human-created systems of rules’ that we are talking about include law and language, which is why his areas of specialization include philosophy of law and philosophy of language, but also table manners and games.
