I've published journal papers and many articles in Philosophy, and teach the subject at UPT in Christchurch, New Zealand. My main research interests include: Evolution, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Religion, and Philosophy of Music. I am on the executive committee of NZAPT (New Zealand Association for Philosophy Teachers), and currently working with collegues to raise the status of Philosophy teaching in Secondary Schools. My goal is to open Philosophy to a wide audience, hence much of my work can be considered "Cafe Philosophy"-nice to read articles pitched at Intelligent people who do not necessarily have a background in Philosophy. After dark I DJ under the name "Maestro B". As a DJ I have performed in many of the well known clubs in Christchurch city. My DJ history goes back to the late 1980s and I regularly DJ at clubs and dance music events. In 2005 I set up a house music review site (www.brentishouse.com). It contains a collection of my own mixsets along with sets from international guests. I also supply mixsets for dance music radio.Enjoy your visit and feel free to post replies to my articles.
