Institution: Syracuse University. Email address: lthomas@maxwell.syr.edu. Brief profile: I am profoundly interested in the intersection between freedom, the biological configuration of human beings, and both (i) the impact social interaction and (ii) the affirmation of social interaction. This, in turn, very much raises two other issues that profoundly concern me, namely (a) courage and (b) self-command. (I am the single author of 3 books and at least 97 articles.). And with Michael Levin, I co-authored Sexual Orientation and Human Rights. Levin took the conservative side and I took the liberal side.
