William Bondi Knowles finalised his PhD at the University of Manchester in 2021, having previously done an MSc at the University of Edinburgh and BA at the University of York. He is currently working as a teaching assistant at Manchester and believes that there is much more to be said for analyticity than is commonly believed, both with regards to its existence and its potential for illuminating the necessary a priori. Secondary interests used to include the question of whether philosophy is just a big waste of time (a.k.a. metaphilosophy), although he now thinks it probably isn’t, and questions about free will and determinism.
