TIL Mike DeVito is pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Birmingham


"My research focuses on the longstanding problem of divine foreknowledge and human free will, exploring appeals to paradox and the utilization of subclassical logic in an attempt to provide novel solutions to the problem. Specifically, I lean heavily on the work of theologian James Anderson and Logician Jc Beall, extending their models (which focus on resolving coherence issues within the Christian doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation) to the foreknowledge and freedom dilemma."

  1. Good for him. Maybe he can come back and teach our lineman the categorical imperatives of staying healthy and pass blocking.

  2. Set my freshmen philo class on fire with the question:

    “If God knows action X will happen at Time Y, then is action *not* X possible? And is this compatible with free will?”

    Good on you Mike. Solid solid player for us.

  3. Thank god he has his football money. no way that degree gets you a good paying job.
