EDUCATION
PhD, Philosophy, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, graduated 2008
Thesis topic: "Religion in the Public Square."
Supervisors: Dr Andrew Moore and Dr Charles Pigden
Thesis Examiners: Dr Edward Feser (Pasadena City College), Dr Alan Musgrave (University of Otago), Dr Simon Clarke (Canterbury University)
In this work I engage with the work of Robert Audi, John Rawls, Gerald Gaus and others, who argue in various ways that the religious convictions that citizens in a liberal democracy hold should not serve as the basis for their support of public policy or their decision making in the public square. I criticise this position on historical, epistemological and meta-ethical grounds.
