About Me


Marvin B. Peláez

Welcome to my personal website! I am a doctoral candidate in the Methodology of the Sciences at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), Poland, where my research recovers the methodological tradition of the Lublin Philosophical School and applies it to questions in the policy sciences, science advisory institutions, and the philosophical foundations of science policy that contemporary frameworks have not been able to resolve from within their own terms. My academic formation includes graduate theological study in the classical Catholic intellectual tradition, alongside a Master of Public Administration. I have served for nearly thirty-five years as an economist at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.


These three formations, spanning classical philosophy and theology, public administration, and federal statistical data collection, are not separate careers but a single intellectual project. The philosophical foundations that modern disciplines have largely set aside remain quietly operative in institutional decision-making, science advisory processes, and public policy. My work names and examines those foundations.
