Alexander George teaches at Amherst College. Before arriving at Amherst, he was an undergraduate at Columbia, a graduate student at Harvard, and a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford. Most recently he published The Everlasting Check: Hume on Miracles. He is also the author (with Daniel J.
