Sam Levey began teaching at Dartmouth in 1997 after receiving his PhD from Syracuse University. He has broad philosophical interests in both historical and contemporary answers to such questions as: What is it for something to exist independently of the mind? What makes truths of mathematics true? What is the past apart from memory? How can anything exist longer than a moment? He writes esoteric papers on Leibniz's philosophy and teaches a variety of courses in the history of modern philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mathematics.
