Daniel S. Murphy

Daniel S. Murphy is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Le Moyne College and a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the State University of New York College at Cortland. He earned his PhD in 2015 from Cornell University's Sage School of Philosophy. His academic appointments reflect a part-time engagement with both institutions.

Dr. Murphy's research specializes in Metaphysics and Philosophy of Religion, with additional interests in Philosophy of Mind and Ethics. His work explores foundational questions about reality, existence, divine attributes, and the intersection of theology with scientific frameworks.

His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on metaphysics (qualitativism, haecceitism, time, causation) and philosophy of religion (divine knowledge, Molinism, theism-cosmology compatibility). Articles span journals including Analytic Philosophy, Philosophical Studies, Ergo, and Faith and Philosophy, with recent work emphasizing metaphysical parsimony and symmetry-breaking.
