Life

Lance earned his Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh under the direction of Robert Brandom and Nuel Belnap.[1] His main areas of expertise are philosophy of language, epistemology, philosophical logic, and metaphysics. He also writes and speaks extensively on anarchist theory. Lance is a critic of anarcho-primitivism and its rejection of language.[2]
