Bradley Harris Dowden (born 1942) is an American philosopher and professor of philosophy at the California State University, Sacramento.
He is a general editor of the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, supervising since 1999 a staff of 30 philosophy professors, each with their own subject area expertise. Subject area editors help the general editors recruit faculty to be referees, and they help settle disputes regarding conflicting suggestions for changes in submitted articles. The IEP is the world's most visited encyclopedia of entries written by philosophy faculty members (885 articles with 6.9 million unique visitors per year). Dowden received his MS in physics from Ohio State University and his PhD in philosophy from Stanford University.[1] His main interests are metaphysics, philosophy of science, time, paradox and infinity.[2] [3] [4]
