Timm Triplett

Timm Triplett is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of New Hampshire, specializing in epistemology and ethics with significant contributions to the foundationalist-coherentist debate, moral justification, and philosophy education.

His educational background includes:

• B.A. in Philosophy from Antioch College
• M.A. from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst
• Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst

Triplett's research explores epistemological frameworks (particularly Wilfrid Sellars' work), ethical theory (focusing on Bernard Gert's moral system), computer ethics, ancient philosophy, and metaphilosophy. He actively promotes philosophical inquiry in K-12 education through the Philosophy for Children (P4C) movement, advocating for a universally shared morality and developing pedagogical approaches for classroom implementation.

His publication trends (2014-2021) reveal sustained engagement with moral philosophy (especially Gert's framework), Sellars' epistemology, and foundationalism, consistently bridging theoretical analysis with practical applications in computer ethics and educational contexts.

Triplett served as Principal Investigator for the HYPE Program (2018-2020), funded by the Charles Koch Foundation. His extensive teaching portfolio includes Ancient Philosophy, Critical Thinking, Eastern Philosophy, Ethics and Society, and specialized courses on teaching philosophy in K-12 settings, reflecting his commitment to both undergraduate education and pre-college philosophical engagement.
