Initially he was interested in biologically oriented metaphysics, later with analytic and ordinary language philosophy—eventually he evolved into a philosopher whose ideas and methods are unique.
Ebersole has held various teaching posts but spent most of his career at the University of Oregon. He has given papers at philosophy meetings and has published widely in philosophy journals. However, much of his writing is not intended for journal publication and is available only in his books: Things We Know, Meaning and Saying, and Language and Perception.view less
