I’m Justin Weinberg, a philosophy professor at the University of South Carolina. I teach and write about a range of topics in philosophy, including questions about the good life, disagreement & controversy, technology, offense, social policy, love, regret, idealism, the future, the nature and value of philosophy, and more, and have given talks on these topics around the world. I also run the philosophy news site, Daily Nous, which is well-known in the world of academic philosophy and is visited millions of times each year.
I’m the father of two sons and one daughter, I have interests in art, music, humor, science, technology, relationships, and the messiness of life, and I think it’s fascinating how much we don’t know.
This site is my place for sharing occasional and brief thoughts on philosophy, life, and culture, links to recent appearances, and other things I find interesting. I’ve given it the name “Disagree” because I think disagreement is misunderstood and underappreciated, and readers are welcome to disagree with me (though do see this note about commenting).
You can read an interview with me here, learn about my approach to teaching philosophy here, and check out a piece at NPR that discusses my view about the value of philosophy here. Media mentions and appearances are listed here.
I’m also on Twitter (@dailynouseditor), Bluesky (@dailynous.com) and Instagram (justin.weinberg).
