MICHAEL PASKARU
Thanks for coming to my site!
About me
I was born in Tel Aviv and moved to Toronto at the age of two, currently based here. I work as a part-time Professor at Humber College, teaching philosophy and psychology. Currently, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from York University and a Master’s in Philosophy of Mind and Psychology from Tilburg University. I'm also applying to PhD programs in Philosophy.
Focus areas
I work at the intersection in the philosophy of mind, virtue ethics, and cognitive science. My inspirations include but are not limited to: Schopenhauer, Kant, Plato, Aristotle, and Fodor.
Interests
I am interested in how philosophy and psychology can help youth and adolescence strengthen their minds so that they can not only be better understood from a computational perspective, but also contribute to their morality and well-being.
What I'm working on
- Working on philosophy papers
- Writing screenplays

This is from one of my favourite Bob Gale movies called Interstate 60. The meaning behind it is that experience often conditions us in certain ways, as well as the importance of thinking outside the box.
