Martin Roth

Assistant professor of Philosophy, Martin Roth is arch-nemesis of Dan Wack due to incompatible philosophical outlooks. His passionate teaching style, intelligence, and off-the-cuff wit has brought students from all walks of major to his philosophy classes. Unfortunately, that means if you sign up for a Martin class, it may be big and full of people who aren't really into the material.

He has been at Knox since 2003.

Currently Roth teaches courses in: First-Year Preceptorial, Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Science, and sometimes Symbolic Logic. He seems to be particularly interested in whether computer chess programs have minds, and probably spends more time facebooking than you do.

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.
