Mark Webb's
Homepage
Or, if you prefer, Mark Webb as Puck in A
Midsummer Night's Dream:
(That's Eva
Dadlez
of the University of Central Oklahoma, as Oberon, on the right).
Or, perhaps, Mark
Webb posing with his patroness,
the (ironically headless) goddess Epistêmê, in Ephesus.
Professor Webb received both his B.A. in
philosophy and his
two M.A. degrees, one in philosophy and the other in Classical
Humanities, from
Texas Tech and Ph.D. in
Philosophy
from Syracuse University
in 1991. He specializes in epistemology and philosophy of religion. He
is
currently working on the epistemology of religious experience,
especially in
non-Western religions. Mark Webb's CV (in pdf)
is available online.
Professor Webb is also faculty advisor for the Double T fencing club.
