Lucas Merritt
Graduate Student
Philosophy
Prior to starting at Baylor, I received a B.S. in Biology (magna cum laude) from the University of Texas at Dallas (‘20) and a M.A. in Philosophy of Religion from Palm Beach Atlantic University (‘23). My philosophical interests are primarily in Metaphysics, Philosophy of Biology, and General Philosophy of Science—with some related interests in Philosophy of Mind and Epistemology. Currently, I’m interested in competing ontologies of nature and its parts (especially at the biological level). Outside of academic life, I enjoy being in nature, playing sports, watching historical films, and growing in my knowledge of other areas (such as theology, history, and spiritual formation.)
