Cosim Sayid is Visiting Assistant Professor in Philosophy. He previously taught at Washington and Lee University in Law, Justice, and Society and Philosophy as well as the Law School; and at Princeton University in Philosophy.
A major theme of Cosim's work is the thought that analytic philosophical rigor can sharpen legal discourse and that paying heed to legal practice as a proving ground for theoretical accounts serves to perfect them. Cosim's recently published essay 'Law, Language, and Aboutness: Diaz v. United States as Case-Study' is an example of this paradigm in action. Cosim also works on more foundational issues in moral, political, and social philosophy as well as the philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics
