He also loves film and writing about film whenever possible. In short, as a scholar he is an eclectic freak and dangerously unfocused for today&#8217;s Academy. Professor Silberstein is equally eclectic as a teacher. His regular course offerings include: philosophy of science, foundations of physics, introduction to cognitive science, philosophy of mind, philosophy and film, and science and values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael David Silberstein is a Full Professor of Philosophy at Elizabethtown College, a founding member of the Cognitive Science program and permanent Adjunct in the Philosophy Department at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he is also a faculty member in the Foundations of Physics Program and a Fellow on the Committee for Philosophy &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/bio\/\"><span class=\"custom-more\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64,"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15\/revisions\/64"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/facultysites.etown.edu\/silbermd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
