#  Prescott-Couch publishes "Explanation and Manipulation" in Noûs 

 





November 15, 2016

 

 

Alexander Prescott-Couch (Harvard University, PhD) has had his article "Explanation and Manipulation" accepted for publication in the journal *Noûs*. Prescott-Couch, who is currently a postodoctoral associate at MIT, received his PhD from Harvard in 2015 for his dissertation *Rational Reconstruction and the Construction of an Interlocutor*, which combined work in democratic theory and philosophy of science to explore how journalists and social scientists enable our understanding of others through the construction of idealized--purposefully inaccurate--interpretations of their persepctives.  
  
Prior to moving to MIT, he was a Law and Philosophy Fellow at The University of Chicago. His work has also been published in *The Journal of Nietzsche Studies*.
