CUNY Presents Professor Justin Garson the 2015 Feliks Gross Endowment Award

The CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences awarded Professor Justin Garson the 2015 Feliks Gross Endowment Award. This honor is presented each year to assistant professors in recognition of outstanding research, or potential for such, in the humanities or sciences. Justin Garson is in the department of philosophy. He has authored or co-authored dozens of scholarly articles on the philosophy of science, the history of neuroscience and medicine, and biodiversity conservation. His book, The Biological Mind: A Philosophical Introduction, shows how philosophical reflection on biology is crucial for solving long-standing puzzles of the human mind, such as altruism, consciousness, language and meaning, mental disorder, free will, and the role of nature and nurture in shaping our lives. He is also an editor of the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Biodiversity.
