   Dr. V. Alan White, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc, recently had two of his works accepted for publication in philosophy journals.
   
   Dr. White published his paper titled "Frankfurt on Personal Failure" last May in an electronic journal of analytical philosophy "Sorites" edited by the Institute for Advanced Studies in Madrid, Spain.This paper is a follow-up to a previously published article in the same journal.Both papers argue against Princeton University's Professor Harry Frankfurt's influential and remarkable claim that the concept of freedom does not require free agents to have alternative opportunities of action.The paper can be viewed by visiting http://www.uwmanitowoc.uwc.edu/staff/awhite/Alspag
   e.htm.
   
   Dr. White will also have a book review published in a forthcoming issue of the electronic philosophy journal "Essays in Philosophy," edited out of Humboldt State University.Dr. White reviews the Bruno LaTour book "Pandora's Hope" (Harvard University Press, 1999) which attempts to describe how both postmodernists and their critics have equally misunderstood the way science works.
   
   Next April, Dr. White has been invited to chair a session of the Philosophy of Time Society (PTS) during meetings of the American Philosophical Association in Chicago.The PTS is an international organization of scholars interested in all questions about time--scientific, philosophical, experiential, etc.--and the Society meets twice yearly to present studies for discussion and criticism.Dr. White's work in the philosophy of time has leaned toward the scientific side, investigating how time operates in contemporary physics.
   
   Dr. White graduated magna cum laude from Northwest Nazarene College, before earning his master's degree and doctorate from the University of Tennessee.He has been teaching at UW-Manitowoc since 1981 and references much of his research work in his Introduction to Philosophy class.He also teaches courses in the philosophy of religion; philosophy of science; ethics; and elementary logic.
