On the romantic side, I'm already taken. My partner's name is Walter. We have been together nine years. He has two sons and one grandson, now age four. It is wonderful to have a family.
My current intellectual project consists of various integrations of Objectivist theoretical philosophy with science and mathematics. My most recent accomplishment in that vein is my essay "Universals and Measurement" in The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies (Spring 2004). This issue of JARS has sold out. To obtain a free electronic copy of my "Universals and Measurement," send me a note at boydstun@rcn.com.
My academic backgrounds are in physics, philosophy, and engineering. My engineering work was building locomotives, then I switched to nuclear power electrical generation. Engineering rounded out the understanding of the physical world I had from physics. Now all those backgrounds, and long study of philosophy, too, are put into my project of extending Ayn Rand's metaphysics.
I created, financed, and edited Objectivity, a hardcopy "journal of metaphysics, epistemology, and theory of value informed by modern science" (1990-98). All back issues of my journal Objectivity are available. Visit the web site for abstracts, author profiles, and ordering information.
Contact me if you have any trouble with orders for my Objectivity journal.
Also, contact me if you would like to talk about writing projects you have concerning Ayn Rand's philosophy in any of the following areas: metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophy of science, theory of value and virtue, or esthetics.
