GREGORY JOHNSON
Mississippi State University
Delphi, Greece
I am an instructor of philosophy and economics at Mississippi State University (Meridian & Starkville). My primary areas of research are philosophy of psychology and philosophy of neuroscience, and I mainly work on the relationship between explanations in cognitive psychology and those in neurobiology. I am also the author of Argument & Inference: An Introduction to Inductive Logic (MIT Press) and the co-author of two open source textbooks.
Since 2019, I have been a co-chair for the History and Philosophy of Science Division in the Mississippi Academy of Sciences. The call for abstracts for the 2025 meeting is here.
