Professor Godlove teaches and performs research in the areas of philosophy and religion. His interests include the history of modern philosophy, epistemology (the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of human knowledge), and the philosophy of religion. His most recent publications include an edited volume, Teaching Durkheim (Oxford, 2004); and “Saving Belief,” in Radical Interpretation in Religion, ed. N. Frankenberry (Cambridge, 2002). He is currently writing a paper about how thoughts come to be “about” things. Outside of the academic world, Dr. Godlove plays chess, enjoys the night sky (yes, even in New York City), plays tennis and cultivates hardy rhododendrons.
