Edward Feser

Feser holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California at Santa Barbara, an M.A. in religion from the Claremont Graduate School, and a B.A. in philosophy and religious studies from the California State University at Fullerton. His thesis is titled "Russell, Hayek, and the Mind-Body Problem".[4] He also went to Crespi High School in California.

Feser is an associate professor of philosophy at Pasadena City College and has been a visiting assistant professor of philosophy at Loyola Marymount University and a visiting scholar at Bowling Green State University's Social Philosophy and Policy Center.[5]

Feser's book The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism makes a philosophical argument for the classical Aristotelian-Thomistic worldview over and against the materialist assumptions and scientistic prejudices of contemporary atheists such as Richard Dawkins, of whom he is particularly critical.[6]

Feser has written articles for publications such as: The American, The American Conservative, Catholic World Report, City Journal, The Claremont Review of Books, Crisis, First Things, Liberty, National Review, New Oxford Review, Public Discourse, Witherspoon Institute, Reason, and TCS Daily.

In 2009, Feser wrote that the Supreme Court of California's decision legalizing gay marriage had "gone well beyond the sophistical orator of Plato's dialogue in 'confounding good with evil,' not to mention reason with insanity."[7]

Feser lives with his wife and seven children in Los Angeles, California.[5]
