Sean Ebels-Duggan

Sean Ebels-Duggan is a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University. His research focuses on the philosophy of logic and mathematics, with secondary interests in early analytic philosophy, Kant, and logical foundations of theology. He has published extensively on abstraction principles, Benacerraf's identity problem, and the compatibility of logical frameworks.

His work examines the consistency of abstractionist programs in mathematics, particularly in predicative second-order logic. He analyzes the philosophical implications of Russell's paradox, Burali-Forti paradox, and cross-sortal identity criteria. Publications include collaborations with Francesca Boccuni and Sean Walsh.

Sean's teaching and academic activities are centered at Northwestern University's Evanston campus. He contributes to debates about logicality requirements, stability criteria for abstraction principles, and the epistemic goals of theological inquiry. His research often bridges formal logic with metaphysical and ontological questions.
