Daniel Derksen Rabinoff



I am a recent PhD graduate at the University of Toronto philosophy department. My primary interests include metaphysics, philosophy of logic, and epistemology. My thesis advisor is Jessica Wilson, and my readers are Benj Hellie and Bernard Katz. I hold an M.A. from the University of Manitoba, where I studied under Chris Tillman.

My dissertation is about the metaphysics of identity, how it relates to the logical notion of identity, and how non-standard views of identity can resolve many traditional (and recent) metaphysical puzzles. I've written about issues in the philosophy of time, the concept of identity, and the coherence (or incoherence) of denying the indiscernibility of identicals. I am also interested in philosophy of religion.

I am also an amateur coder, and love tinkering with computers. See the Argument Diagrammer for my latest project.
