David Hale, PhD, teaches everything from Introductory classes (Phil 110) and Philosophy of Religion (Phil 130) to Major Issues in Philosophy (Phil 430). He believes in provocation as pedagogy. Teaching students to rock climb, ice climb, ski or filefish are Hale's favorite activities outside the classroom. He believes that they can be more important than reading books or arguing about esoteric issues — although he enjoys those as well.
