Joy Laine, visiting assistant professor of philosophy, specializes in the philosophy of mind and language. Her work in these areas encompasses both the Western and Indian philosophical traditions. She has spent extensive periods in India pursuing her own research and also accompanying students on study abroad programs. She has written entries for the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy on “Indian Philosophy of Mind” and on “Vatsyayana,” “Vacaspati Misra” and “Udayana,” three important Indian philosophers. She is currently working on a book, Philosophical Persons, in which she examines the development of philosophical theories of personal identity and how such theories relate to broader cultural concerns.
