href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/phil\/\">philosophy<\/a> at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>The academy, founded in 1780, serves as a research center convening leaders from across disciplines, professions and perspectives to address significant challenges and recognizes and celebrates the excellence of its diverse members.<\/p>\n<p>Van Cleve is the 28th faculty member at USC Dornsife to be elected to the prestigious academy, which this year also adds author Zadie Smith, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, entertainment industry notables Shonda Rhimes, Michelle Yeoh and Lin-Manuel Miranda. These names add to a long list of historically significant luminaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be in the illustrious company of the likes of Ben Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Lin-Manuel Miranda, even if as a much lesser light,\u201d says Van Cleve.<\/p>\n<p>Joining USC Dornsife as a visiting professor more than 20 years ago, Van Cleve was named to the full-time faculty in 2005. He studies current problems in metaphysics and the philosophy of perception as well as early modern philosophers.<\/p>\n<p>He says he was an undergraduate when his interest in philosophy arose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was drawn in large part by the methods of the discipline \u2014 the careful defining of one\u2019s terms, articulating all the premises needed in an argument, respecting the evidence and following it where it leads, and so on \u2014 habits all too often missing these days or even spurned,\u201d he says. \u201cBut the content of philosophy was also a draw, and its questions have been a source of fascination for me for decades. Is changing the past logically possible? What gives thoughts their reference to things? Does morality depend on theology?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His scholarship has produced more than 100 publications, among them the notable book <a href=\"https:\/\/global.oup.com\/academic\/product\/problems-from-kant-9780195083224?cc=ca&amp;lang=en&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Problems from Kant<\/i><\/a> (Oxford University Press, 1999). This work delves into the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant\u2019s renowned opus, <i>Critique of Pure Reason<\/i>, offering an in-depth examination of its central themes. His follow-up tome, <a href=\"https:\/\/global.oup.com\/academic\/product\/problems-from-reid-9780199857036?cc=ca&amp;lang=en&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Problems from Reid<\/i><\/a> (Oxford University Press, 2015), takes a similar approach to the works of Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid, a contemporary of Kant\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Van Cleve has focused on another Scottish philosopher, David Hume, while teaching undergraduate courses on \u201cPhilosophical Foundations of Modern Western Culture,\u201d \u201cTime and Time Travel,\u201d \u201cHistory of Modern Philosophy\u201d and \u201cMetaphysics.\u201d His graduate seminars explore the philosophy of A.N. Prior, the philosophy of perception, probability and epistemology, and mereology (the study of parts and the wholes they compose) among other subjects.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his academic pursuits, Van Cleve has generously shared his expertise by delivering more than 120 invited lectures at esteemed institutions throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>His honors include a Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fellowship, a Brown University Wriston Fellowship, a Fulbright Award to Lecture in India, an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and a
