My teaching interests lie in early modern philosophy, Kant, German idealism, 19th-c. European philosophy, and phenomenology. I also enjoy teaching the history of analytic philosophy and biomedical ethics. My approach to teaching serves the main goal of introducing students to core concepts in early and late modern thought and training them in the interpretation of historical texts. In my experience, this is best facilitated by stressing to students that the history of philosophy is not a chronicle of past positions that might provoke our curiosity, but rather a living tradition that invites us to reimagine how we live today. This history is both a proper domain of inquiry and a reminder of our critical responsibilities as philosophers, as thinkers committed to taking responsibility for our intellectual and cultural inheritance and assessing our assumptions about what counts as worthy philosophical study.
