Instructor

Steve Esser received his PhD in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in 2018. Steve’s research focus is philosophy of science. Prior to graduate school, Steve had a 25 year business career as an  investment manager.

Regarding philosophy for the young: I have long been interested in philosophy outreach to the public and K-12 students in particular. Since 2005, I have volunteered with the Greater Philadelphia Philosophy Consortium, helping area philosophers organize an event called the "Public Issues Forum," one of which focused on philosophy for children. I have also volunteered for several years as a judge at the Delaware Valley Regional High School Ethics Bowl, held annually at Villanova University.
