Manish Oza

I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Western Ontario, Faculty of Law, cross-appointed to the Department of Philosophy. I work mainly in philosophy of law and philosophy of logic.

My main project is about the authority of nonstate groups, such as clubs, churches, unions and social and political organizations, and how it intersects with the authority of the state. I'm particularly interested in collective forms of ownership.

My work in philosophy of logic is about the idea that thinking has to be logical to be thinking at all. Building on this work, I'm studying legal reasoning and (with my colleague Andy Yu) organizing a research project on legislative intent and ordinary meaning.
