James (Jim) Sias

Associate Professor of Philosophy
Dickinson College
Ph.D., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

I specialize in ethics (especially metaethics) and philosophical psychology (especially moral psychology), but I also have interests in the philosophy of psychiatry, epistemology, and the history of moral philosophy. 

My first book, The Meaning of Evil, was published in 2016.
  • For a full description of the book, click here.
  • Why write a book about evil? See here and here. 

Current projects:
  • I'm in the early stages of research for a book about schizophrenia and psychosis.
  • Working on papers on a variety of topics, including: (1) the perception of others' mental states in psychosis, (2) rationality in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and (3) the psychiatric status of personality disorder.

Outside of philosophy, I like reading (and watching) science fiction, drawing and painting, and hanging out with my wife (Molly) and our kids.

And for the record, my last name rhymes with bias.
