David is also interested in counselling and psychotherapy and the contribution of philosophy to helping and healing in this way.

David is interested in the teaching of philosophy in non-academic settings and its role in society - especially with regard to green agendas. He is also promoting the wider use of biology in teaching philosophy of science.
