Felix is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the Catholic University of America focusing on neoplatonic thought. He is also an editor with seven years of experience working for websites and print magazines and a writer with essays published in nearly a dozen publications. In his free time, Felix reads both fiction and non-fiction, spends time in nature, and co-hosts a podcast about the literary and cultural value of comics. He lives in the shadows of New York’s Adirondack mountains with his wife and two children.  

Felix’s love for the written word was unlocked when his older sister started reading aloud C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia—only to stop halfway through the first volume, telling him if he wanted to find out what happened he would need to read the rest of the series himself. This began a lifelong love affair with stories. Literature has influenced his work as a philosopher, his writing for popular audiences, and even his relationships with friends and family. Among his favorite novels are works long, short, old, and new—from The Brothers Karamazov to Piranesi to Infinite Jest to The Little Prince. He also has a deep appreciation for poetry and painting.

Over the past decade, Felix has enjoyed many opportunities to mentor, tutor, and teach high school, college, and adult education students. For him, there is no joy quite like helping another person fall in love with words—just like his sister did for him so many years ago.

Sophy is currently a first-year student in the MA/Ph.D. program in English at the Catholic University of America, where she's currently waist-deep in Medieval and early Renaissance literature. During some of the finest twenty hours of her typical week, she can be found in the University's Writing Center, where she works with students one-on-one to polish admissions essays, brainstorm arguments for research papers, or fine-tune articles for publication. Sophy brings the same conversational, collaborative, and encouraging approach to each Thought Incorporated tutoring session. What she enjoys most about tutoring is seeing her students' confidence grow as active, sensitive readers, and skillful writers.

Sophy first discovered how much she enjoyed tutoring as an undergraduate at St. John's College; in her senior year, she was approached to design and implement a study assistance program for undergraduates struggling with the demands of the college’s Great Books curriculum. After graduating, she spent a summer interning in the copy department of Philadelphia's Barnes Museum, where she helped edit the manuscript for the book Berthe Morisot: Woman Impressionist, while also working as a freelance French and writing tutor with students at the University of Pennsylvania.  

Bridget is a Ph.D. candidate and teaching fellow in philosophy at the Catholic University of America, with special interests in ancient Greek and German philosophy and aesthetics. A Houston native, Bridget earned her B.A in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas, where she also worked as a philosophy and writing tutor. She moved to Washington, D.C. in 2018 to pursue her Ph.D., and earned her M.A. in 2021 with the completion of her thesis, “The Metaphysics of ‘Aesthetic Justification’ in Nietzsche’s Birth of Tragedy.” Bridget has a deep love of film, music, art, and literature, and is passionate about the intersection of philosophy and culture. She loves to incorporate music and film into her teaching curriculum and hosts movie nights with her students to help make philosophical themes fun and accessible. One of her favorite directors is Wes Anderson (Houston born and raised!), and she likes to relate his Fantastic Mr. Fox to Aristotle’s account of nature. 

In the last four years, Bridget has worked on the staff of a scholarly journal, The Review of Metaphysics, and as an undergraduate philosophy instructor. Her primary aim in the classroom is to transform her students into careful readers, effective writers, and thoughtful communicators. She believes in the Socratic dictum to transform one’s puzzlement into a deep desire to know and that this desire must be coupled with a knowledge of one’s self. She hopes to instill this love of learning in all of her students and hopes also that her students come to think critically about themselves: their interests, their worldview, and the questions that matter to them the most.
