The episode description and a short biography of Dr. Boghossian is as follows:<\/p>\n

Dr. Peter Boghossian\u2019s main focus is bringing the tools of professional philosophers to people in a wide variety of contexts. Peter has a teaching pedigree spanning more than 20 years and 30 thousand students–in prisons, hospitals, public and private schools, seminaries, colleges and universities, Fortune 100 companies and small businesses. His fundamental objective is to teach people how to think through what often seem to be intractable problems.<\/em><\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s primary research areas are critical thinking and moral reasoning.\u00a0 His doctoral research studies, funded by the State of Oregon and supported by the Oregon Department of Corrections, consisted of using the Socratic method to help prison inmates to increase their critical thinking and moral reasoning abilities and to increase their desistance to criminal behavior. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s publications can be found in\u00a0Di\u00e1logos, Education Policy Analysis Archives, The Clearing House: Educational Research Controversy and Practices, The Radical Academy; Offender Programs Report, Teaching Philosophy, Corrections Today, Informal Logic, The Skeptic,\u00a0Journal of Philosophy of Education, Educational Philosophy and Theory, Inside Higher Ed, Essays in Philosophy, Federal Probation Journal,\u00a0and\u00a0the Journal of Correctional Education.<\/em><\/p>\n

His work has been noted onThe Huffington Post, The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Science and Reason,\u00a0and other media outlets; he was an invited guest on the\u00a0Lars Larson Show, interviewed for the cover story of the\u00a0Mercury, and advocated via social media by the Executive Director of the\u00a0Skeptic Society, Michael Shermer, and bestselling author and head of\u00a0Project Reason, Sam Harris.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
