Roy T. Cook, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Author InformationSean Morris is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. He has written extensively on Quine and the history of analytic philosophy with a particular emphasis on Quine's work in the foundations of mathematics.
