Carol Rovane is Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, where she has served as Director of Graduate Studies and Chair of the Philosophy Department, and was recently awarded the Lenfest Distinguished Faculty Award. She publishes widely in the areas of metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action and ethics, and has authored two books: The Bounds of Agency: An Essay in Revisionary Metaphysics, and The Metaphysics and Ethics of Relativism. Her scholarly work centers on the very idea and nature of a point of view. She examines how different forms of subjectivity -- including bodily perception, phenomenological experience, and rational deliberation -- relate to one another and to objective reality, addressing fundamental questions about mind-world and mind-mind relations.
