Jason Stanley (born October 12, 1969) is an American philosopher, currently Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University in New Haven, CT. He is best known for his contributions to philosophy of language and epistemology, which often draw upon and have influence in other fields including linguistics and cognitive science. He has also written for a popular audience at the New York Times philosophy blog "The Stone." In his more recent work, he has brought tools from philosophy of language and epistemology to bear on questions of political philosophy, especially in his book How Propaganda Works, which grew out of some blog essays at "The Stone."
