Autoren-Porträt
EditorPatrick Goold is Associate Professor of Philosophy at
Virginia Wesleyan College. His current research focuses on defining
rationality. He is co-editor with Steven Emmanuel of the Blackwell
anthology Modern Philosophy from Descartes to Nietzsche.
Patrick is passionate about sailing, and, in addition to
maintaining a small daysailer and a cruising boat of his own,
frequently crews on the boats of others. The bays and sounds of
Virginia and North Carolina are his home waters but he has sailed
the length of the East Coast of the United States from Hilton Head
to Long Island Sound, made a Bermuda crossing, done club racing in
Brittany, and cruised in the Lesser Antilles.
