Paul Tulipana

I'm Paul. I'm a lecturer on ethics in the department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at UCLA. I did my PhD at Stanford and a postdoc at UCLA Philosophy. Before landing at UCLA MCDB, I lectured in the Philosophy departments at UCLA and UC Riverside.

I wrote my dissertation on Immanuel Kant's Critique of Practical Reason, and I am slowly getting that material organized and out. I also work on the Critique of Pure Reason, and in particular on the Transcendental Deduction with Dustin King.
