How to pronounce my name:

Jeremy Fantl

Jeremy Fantl joined OSU as Professor of Philosophy in 2025 after working at the University of Calgary since 2006. He has also spent time in the Philosophy Departments at Brandeis University and the University of Arizona, and the Expository Writing Program at Harvard University. He mainly works on epistemology, but has also published on ethics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of Mary Shepherd. He is co-author with Matthew McGrath of a number of publications on the relationship of knowledge to action. Most recently, he has been working on the nature and worth of open-mindedness and defending traditional epistemology against the charge that it can’t be helpful in guiding inquiry and action.

Outside of philosophy, he cares to an unhealthy, sleep-depriving extent about the fates of four Boston-area sports teams, in the following order of importance: 1) Red Sox, 2) Patriots, 3) Celtics, and 4) Bruins.
