Louis Groarke (born 1953) is a Canadian philosopher, author, and a professor in the Philosophy Department at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
[2] Louis Groarke's first book The Good Rebel[3] addresses the tendency of contemporary philosophers to overly separate freedom from morality and rationality.
Through the presentation of a vast array of figures in the philosophical tradition, Groarke argues that this contemporary view is a deviation from a broadly held consensus that far from being at odds with morality and rationality, freedom actually presupposes these goods.
[4] Subsequently, Groarke has authored a significant textbook and many academic articles on ethics developing this historical methodology.
This alternative view highlights that it is Hume's presumption of nominalism that grounds his account of the problem of induction.
