Noah Gabriel Martin

I am the Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Humanities at the Lebanese American University. I have taught philosophy at University College London and at the University of Sussex, from which I received my PhD in 2016. My research is on disagreement. The formulation of a question or disagreement often arbitrarily predetermines how the matter is to be resolved. In other words; asking the question a certain way already stacks the deck in favour of one side or the other. If we are to take disagreement seriously as an epistemological problem, we cannot limit discussion to strictly formulated disagreements which can be rationally resolved. Instead, I argue, questions about how to frame our most persistent and important controversies must aim at the critique, rather than refutation, of opposed beliefs, sets of beliefs, and worldviews.
