Alicia Finch

Alicia Finch is an Associate Professor at Northern Illinois University, where she has worked since 2007. Her teaching spans metaphysics, moral psychology, ancient philosophy, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of race.

Her research focuses on the metaphysics of free will, examining topics like the Consequence Argument, the Mind Argument ("luck argument"), theological fatalism, and logical fatalism. Currently, she is developing a monograph tracing the philosophical evolution of blameworthiness across four traditions: Aristotelianism, Augustinianism, liberal individualism, and the Scottish Enlightenment, building on Alasdair MacIntyre's *Whose Justice? Which Rationality?*.

Her work intersects with historical and contemporary debates, emphasizing clarity in understanding moral responsibility through the lens of Aristotle, Aquinas, Enlightenment thinkers, and modern philosophical frameworks.
