Martin Roth
Martin Roth was an assistant professor of philosophy at Knox from 2003 to 2007.
Martin Roth was the arch-nemesis of Dan Wack due to incompatible philosophical outlooks. His passionate teaching style, intelligence, and off-the-cuff wit brought students from all walks of major to his philosophy classes. Unfortunately, that meant if you sign up for a Martin class, it may be big and full of people who aren't really into the material.
On 3 July 2007 Roth announced through a Facebook note that he was leaving Knox to take a position at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He had been at Knox since 2003.
He seems to be particularly interested in whether computer chess programs have minds.
Education
Roth earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California-Davis in 2003. He received his B.S. in Philosophy from Willamette University in 1995. Prior to that, he attended Sacramento High School. He was most likely miserable in his time in secondary education.
