John W. Carroll

John W. Carroll is professor of philosophy at North Carolina State University. His research focuses on metaphysics and philosophy of science, especially the topics of laws of nature, causation, motion, explanation, and time travel. His The Humean Tradition, which appeared in The Philosophical Review, was reprinted in The Philosopher's Annual, XIII, as a top ten philosophy article appearing in 1990. He is the author of Laws of Nature (Cambridge, 1994), co-author with Ned Markosian of An Introduction to Metaphysics (Cambridge, 2010), and the editor of Readings on Laws of Nature (Pittsburgh, 2004). Professor Carroll is, however, most proud of his work as editor and producer of A Time Travel Dialogue and A Time Travel Website, two superb pieces of interdisciplinary and collaborative scholarship done with his metaphysics students.
