Jack Madock

I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at the University of Florida.

I work primarily on the epistemic and ethical constraints that govern relationships of trust. This includes what sorts of epistemic states are compatible with trust and how trust places us under ethical obligations. I also have significant interests in applied ethics, especially ethics of technology, and political philosophy.

Before coming to UF, I completed an MA at KU Leuven and a BA at DePaul University. Under the research tab you will find links to my published papers. Under the teaching tab you will find courses I have taught and sample syllabi.

Here is the link to my CV.
