Biography / Academic Interests
:
A member of the PEP Department since 1998, Professor White teaches courses in the intersections of economics, philosophy, and law, including Law and Economics (ECO 331/POL 331), Economics and Philosophy (ECO 333/PHL 333), and Legal Philosophy (PHL 331/POL 330), in addition to other economics and philosophy courses. He is advisor to CSI’s chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the international economic honor society, and organizes the PEP Department’s monthly Philosophy Forum (as of fall 2009). In his research, Professor White uses the philosophy of Immanuel Kant to enrich the ethical foundations of economics (in particular, the economic approach to law).
