I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Rochester Institute of Technology. My areas of specialization and interest include German Idealism, Aesthetics, and Critical Theory.
I have written on a number of thinkers and themes in European and American Philosophy, with special concern, on the one hand, for thinkers associated with the Budapest School and their diagnoses of modernity, and a concurrent interest in Kantian idealism and in Kant’s metacritical heirs.
I am currently completing a book entitled The Reinvention of Idealism in American Philosophy: John William Miller and the Idealist Case for History, Technology, and Objectified Agency.
I have taught at RIT since completing my PhD, at the New School for Social Research, in 2004. My teaching covers a wide range from the history of philosophy and ideas, including regular seminars in Ancient Greek and Hellenistic Philosophy, Existentialism, and Aesthetics.
