I am currently a tenured associate profess or philosophy at FSU.
I was formerly tenured Associate Professor of Philosophy and Civilization Studies at the American University of Beirut.
In 2013-14 recently a post-doc research fellow at the FCHI at Emory University (http://chi.emory.edu/fellowships/).
I received my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium). I have also studied Mathematics and Physics at the University of Evansville (Indiana, USA).
My dissertation won the Silvestro Marcucci International Dissertation Award (5000 Euros), co-financed by the Accademia Lucchese di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, 2009-2010. Judged by Bernd Dörflinger (Trier), Mario Caimi (Buenos Aires), Alfredo Ferrarin (Pisa), Luca Fonnesu (Pavia), and Claudio La Rocca (Genova).

Books by Courtney Fugate
"This work argues that teleological motives lie at the heart of Kant's Critical Philosophy and that a precise analysis of teleological structures can both illuminate the basic strategy of its fundamental arguments and provide a key to understanding its unity. It thus aims, through an examination of each of Kant’s major writings, to provide a detailed interpretation of his claim that philosophy in the true sense must consist of a teleologia rationis humanae.
The author argues that Kant’s Critical philosophy forged a new link between traditional teleological concepts and basic structure of rationality, one that would later inform the dynamic conception of reason at the heart of German Idealism. The process by which this was accomplished began with Kant’s development of a uniquely teleological conception of systematic unity already in the Precritical period. The individual chapters of this work attempt to show how Kant adapted and refined this conception of systematic unity so that it came to form structural basis for the Critical Philosophy.
This book will be of interest to scholars of Kant and German Idealism.

Papers by Courtney Fugate
Gottlieb Baumgarten’s views on the nature and role of metaphysics. By
the “nature” of metaphysics, I mean just what it is – its definition – and
whatever might be the foundation of this definition, whereas by its “role”
I mean both the general function that metaphysics is supposed to have
with respect to other sciences and the role it is supposed to have in our
lives more generally. Neither topic has received much attention in the literature, although they are clearly central to understanding the reception of his philosophy among Kant and his contemporaries. Indeed, with only one exception, most commentators seem to assume that in respect to these key issues, Baumgarten is not notably different from his famous predecessor, Christian Wolff.
