Personal Information
Welcome to the web site for me, Richard Kimberly Heck.1 I am Professor of Philosophy at Brown University. I taught at Harvard University, from 1991 through 2005.
In this section of the site, you will find some general information about me. First, here is some contact information. My mailing address is:
Department of Philosophy
Box 1918
Brown University
Providence RI 02912
You are welcome to contact me with any questions you might have, but please be advised that, unfortunately, I have too many commitments to be able to give detailed answers to unsolicited questions about philosophy. If you want to ask such questions, try Ask Philosophers, where I am a panelist.
There are three other sections on the site:
- Philosophy
Here you will find a list of my publications and some on-line versions of papers, including some not yet published, as well as information about courses I'm presently teaching and links to their web sites, where appropriate. There is also a section containing some materials I have used in courses I've taught. - High-end Audio
Here you'll find some stuff on one of my main hobbies, high-end audio, including answers to such questions as "What is high-end audio?" and "How might one get started with this hobby?" - Woodworking
Here you will find some stuff on another of my hobbies, woodworking. Mostly, this is just a place for me to house photos of things I've made.
1 Before 27 February 2018, I was known as "Richard G Heck, Jr". Please note also that I now use "they" and its cognates as my pronouns. For information on how to cite my work in light of this change, please see this page.
